It's when they park/ride onto normal pavements with no thought for pedestrians. Happened to me and the missus yesterday in town. Made me grumpy. Lazy, thoughtless, arrogant, ignorant bastards. Yeah, I know they are not all like that. What happens if some trips over one of the bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoymouse Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Prom was backed up around sea terminal toward lord street when roads first closed today, I think it’s actually the multiple crossings causing it along with the 20mph speed limit (that everyone actually stuck to today) straight through both roundels without an issue though and top half of the prom was fine, I pretty much drive with one wheel on the red tarmac for the trams though, so no wonder it’s breaking up as quite a few others were too.

Declan Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Let them park on pavements and they’ll be smashing dolphins next. These biker's are here for races that are free and subsidised by the taxpayer. Perhaps they could show some respect for the newly done up Promenade. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crossings are an issue during 'rush hour' during normal times. The designers missed the part about it being a major A road with high traffic flow. The red concrete isn't a separate reservation and is part of the carriageway. There's no reason people shouldn't drive on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
