One of the perks of employee of the month is a parking space up front. Me, a member of @TheWarOnCars: https://t.co/gfcDLn0DD5 Outside the Science Museum of Virginia

A turn table outside the library in Shrewsbury. This seems to be for turning cars around rather than having the drivers attempt three point turns in the front garden of the former school of Charles Darwin.

New second yellow line on Riverside should make bridge and Tesco junctions easier by removing parking

The new-ish properties on the right were built at the bottom of the long gardens of houses on Histon Road. They were restricted to single storey, but have a basement. They were not granted any rights to use the local residents' parking … [more]

Concrete humps within these motor vehicle storage spaces to stop vehicles overhanging the footway. However I realise they can be a bit of a trip hazard for people crossing vacant spaces on foot! See also #50932.

In this motor vehicle storage area the spaces have concrete lumps which are used to stop the vehicles overhanging the footway. However I realise they can be a bit of a trip hazard for people crossing vacant spaces on foot! See #50935.

Five sheffield stands for parking ten bikes in one car storage space. Shame the rest of the town is such a horrible place to cycle as evidenced by the hoardings behind, see #50412.

Area with marked parking zones, works much better than the Dings Home Zone (though there is more space here). Note that yellow hashing lines have been removed as these changed the balance of subtle markings.

"Listen to your heart (... I don't know where you're going ...)" plays to the parked vehicles in this undeground car storage facility in Arras, northern France. It feels strange the first time, but perhaps it is to provide reassurance to … [more]

Car parking in the middle of the street rather than one side - better for walkers

Amazing! Someone has stopped to unload on Bateman Street without blocking the contraflow cycle lane.

Parking bay provided on other side of hybrid cycle lane. (Potential dooring zone issue but the cycle lane is wide.)

Specific parking bays off the carriageway in a new development, meaning that cyclists do not have to veer round parked vehicles.

The driver of this van is to be commended for her/his thoughtfulness in not blocking the cycleway whilst undertaking these works.

The car parking bay on the left is to become one of Cambridge's first locations for Car Club cars. (Cycle parking also needed in the area.)

The car parking bay on the right is to become one of Cambridge's first locations for Car Club cars.

Older roads can be redesigned with a narrow area for driving and with parking bays for cars. This results in more pedestrian space and prevents cyclists from being tempted to duck in between parked cars, leading to additional safety. The … [more]
