A council spokesman said: “The north-east end of Queens Terrace has been obstructed by parked cars due to inconsiderate drivers restricting access to The Grove.
Access seems to be a problem here lines or no lines.
I think the stupidity lies in the fact that more than 2/3's of the roads space was allocated to parking bays.
Pretty much epic fail if you ask me.

I agree G4Z. They got it wrong. Not worth wetting ourselves over
I seem to have full bladder control at the moment... what are you implying?

I was fairly sure it's illegal to park on the pavement....Neighbour Jane Ringer, 54, a part-time teacher, said: “They told me drivers should just use their common sense and park half on the pavement. But where is the council’s common sense?["]
I was only teasing. How about this one.Try not to put words into my mouth there's a good boy. But, as you mention it, yep, it looks fine to me. Get out of your cars and ride a bike
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...reet-sign.htmlSwansea Council contacted its in-house translation service when designing a bilingual sign barring heavy goods vehicles from a road in the Morriston area of the Welsh city.
But as the translator was not available, they received an automated e-mail response in Welsh saying: "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated."
Unaware of the real meaning of the message, officials had it printed on the sign under the English, which correctly reads: "No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential site only."
The council took down the sign, near an Asda supermarket, after Welsh speakers spotted the mistake.
A Swansea Council spokesman said: "Our attention was drawn to the mistranslation of a sign at the junction of Clase Road and Pant-y-Blawd Road.
"We took it down as soon as we were made aware of it and a correct sign will be installed as soon as possible."
Welsh-language magazine Golwg printed photographs of the offending sign after the gaffe was pointed out by readers.
Managing editor Dylan Iorwerth said: "We have been running pictures of this kind of thing over the past few months.
"It's good that people want to have bilingual signs, but unfortunately they don't make sure someone with a real knowledge of Welsh checks the work through all the different stages.
"As in this case, there can be a terrible mistake."

Me too.
Tha tsig ninw els hisfu nny
It is.
It seems to me to be self-evident that if the council paint parking bays, people are going to park in them, whether it's stupid to do so or not.
From the looks of that photo, it seems that white-lined parking bays one side probably should be matched by (properly maintained) double yellows the other side.
A week or so ago, a neighbouring council sent a fire-and-brimstone letter to a local resident asking him to stop immediately mowing the verge in front of his house and to restore it to its previous conditions on pains of fines, prison, exile or whatever.
The man's fault was that for several years he had mowed, cleaned, removed rubbish from a piece of verge opposite his house.

It follows that if you pick up rubbish, you might be fined.
On a road I used to live on, there was a double width pavement outside the front of the houses, with trees, these trees left just the right amount of space for one car in between, and for 15+ years people had been happily parking on the pavement in between the trees (leaving ample room on the rest of the pavement for people)... then one day all the cars parked there got tickets...
Following resident complaints the council painted parking spaces (on the pavements in between the trees) - thereby making it "legal" to park there. Common sense prevails - hooray

IMHO the original picture is staged to support an article written after the council had corrected their mistake. Residents generally oppose change if it means they can't park directly outside their house. When the permit scheme comes into effect the other cars should disappear. PROBLEM SOLVED.
