So that is how you get a legal private parking space outside of your house!

I wouldn't be so sure, it was in Yorkshire, could well be what they thought they had to do.

To me that looks like lines around a traffic claming measure that has subsequently been removed and the lines weren't tidied up. But that can't be the case, as the media wouldn't lie to make up a story...

Funny shaped car to be painting around.

I'm guessing it was half on the kerb, half on the road.

I think so too.

The workmen made the decision during resurfacing and road lining work in Hyde Terrace in the Clarendon area of Leeds last weekend.

It's probably not started yet..

article said:

The lines have been put down whilst Hyde Terrace is being refurbished to prevent parking issues.

"The correct road markings will be reinstated on completion of the work."

Yes.

Seems very strange that a car would park exactly on the unsurfaced tarmac like that...

Was probably one of the workman's cars!
