The cycleway alongside Sighthill Avenue is open as far as Fountainwell Gardens. Already indiscriminate parking is occurring on the roads next to the car park, blocking the crossing points.

It looks like @StockportMBC PARC strategy (pedestrian area reallocated to car) is going ahead. I'm not convinced reallocating what little pedestrian space there is to cars is the best strategy. But the council seem convinced it's the best … [more]

The road end cycle track completely blocked by parked cars in Claremont Street.

Why, @CambsCC, does electric car infrastructure have to take up pavement rather than road space? And @alexandrabulat, how is this compatible with the Riverside promenade vision? https://t.co/ocOpWJVRp9

A newly installed dropped kerb at the east end of Henderson Street, but the corresponding dropped kerb in Napiershall Street has an occupied marked parking bay across it.

In an almost empty street (see #183811), one of the few vehicles parked is blocking the dropped kerb for Garriochmill Way. A build-out is required, as well as removing the parking bay markings.

More car parking in the University Avenue cycle lanes, across the Kelvin Way access.

Motor vehicle storage at right angles to the road makes this an even more intimidating place to cycle than the heavy traffic that passes through this horrible town centre.

If parking spaces are given to a restaurant for Covid-safe outdoor eating, Rome's car drivers will just park alongside.

The bus was blocking the road for a long time because someone left a car in a stupid place. Normal for Roma.

There could be great cycleways in Roma if only there weren't cars parked absolutely everywhere they can be squeezed in.

Institutionalised double parking in Roma - the cars on the right can't move until those on the left have gone.

There's double-parking everywhere in Roma (see also the Streetview and satellite images)
