Yes. That is a pedstrian island at a busy traffic light controlled junction (I think it was Newbury)
Could be doing a traffic survey, often conducted by retired people sitting in their own cars.Yes. That is a pedstrian island at a busy traffic light controlled junction (I think it was Newbury)
Anyway it's not a pavement or any kind of pedestrian route, just surround on three sides by railings.

No, there was nobody in it. It was there when I arrived and when I left later that day. And it does form part of the crossingAnyway it's not a pavement or any kind of pedestrian route, just surround on three sides by railings.

This popped up on my F/B feed from Ladbible
Apparently, it was in Melbourne and the article said not only was there no blue badge, but it was obviously taking up 2 disabled spaces.... This is properly 'special'...
I think you could still squeeze a car in either side. Might be tight but worth a go. Apparently, it was in Melbourne and the article said not only was there no blue badge, but it was obviously taking up 2 disabled spaces.... This is properly 'special'...
Got a whole accompanying story!
parked van. There's a half-space behind me before double yellow lines, and a couple of feet in front before I'm impinging on someone's driveway access. Come out after 10 minutes to find some halfwit parked right behind me stopping access, move van forward 2 feet, as I'm getting something out the side the gibbon runs out, jumps in his car and moves it back to within 12".
Me: "Er 'scuze me mate but I need to access that door to get things out"
Indignant tvvat: "Well I'm parked on double yellow lines"
"Er you could park in a different space?"
"This is my house. You park in a different space"
"Okay whatever"
I then proceed to open back door as far as I can [bonk] on his car and fish something out
Him: "Are we gonna have a problem here?"
"No problem at all mate"
"You just bashed my car"
"This is what I've been trying to explain to you, if you're going to repeatedly move your car under the back doors of a van that I need to access."
Then I walked back over the road into the job leaving him looking gormless, then after that he moves his heap right right up against the van as shown. Ten minutes later I'm getting something out the side and I'm accosted by a woman now.
"You need to sort something out with my son in law, his wife is heavily pregnant and may require being taken to hospital at any moment"
"should have used a condom/taken it up the Gary well ma'am, if his tone had been excuse me and sorry to trouble you, I have someone who needs assisting into this car instead of acting like a petulant child and withering on about his 'oomin right to park here, we might have had a different conversation.
"Huurmph" storms off.
