Is anyone running a cable across a pavement?

Ah ok, Scotland. I thought when you said nationwide you mean all of the UK.

Is it enforced in Scotland I wonder?

Edit - scrub that, it's delayed until at least 2024 in Scotland 'cause Covid.

Back to charging cables across pavements

The link is about England.
There are other things on the interweb saying the D of T are considering it.

Indeed. Although as I said, it's technically illegal already as you aren't allowed to drive on the pavement.

It's an action group made up of cycling groups trying to get English MP's to conisder discussing thier idea. If you read it fully they mention Scotland has legislated their own desires for England already.

Very far from nationwide bans coming.

What is technically illegal and what is enforced can be very different.
Is there a legal definition of 'drive on the pavement'?
Is the kerb 'pavement?
What makes a pavement different from a grass verge?

If it was clearly and enforceably illegal in England, they would not have needed a new law to make it enforceable in that London.

And of course when the new rules came in in Londonshire, they promptly painted loads of specific bits of pavement where parking was allowed.

Somebody told me there's no explicit right to park anywhere on the public highway.

First pi55ed person to step on one of these in high heels will be claiming for a broken ankle?

You've never seen a drainage channel in a pavement? Do you even live in the UK?

Why? Are you inviting me down the pub?

Because you seem entirely unaware of the state of UK pavements.

Since 1974, Highway Code rule 244 in London for sure.
