Stuck in Traffic

Yellow Lines - No Parking Except when you want to.

Parked Cars have really changed the nature of our roads, creating bottlenecks and traffic jams all over the place.

When most roads were built, there were very few parked cars.

A typical scene before roads were clogged with parked cars.

It’s one reason why I favour a tax on car parking. I’m not a supporter of free car parking in city centres.

As noted, they are both delivery vans, but still.

Would be great to have streets that empty. Not even possible in the dead of night.

To be fair though, these two are both delivery vans
