I am aware there is a car stuck in the pedestrian tunnel connecting the Botley Rd to Frideswide square. While the authorities working to free it I am worried about access for those with mobility issues. I’ve asked for more info and one of my team going to look now. More to follow
This one may take the cake
Crews have been working overnight this week to install measures to improve safety at the Plain roundabout. Well here’s a lorry INSIDE the protected cycle lane, forcing bikes back into traffic during the morning commute.
Absolutely unacceptable
SBAF: “This car was parked on the Cowley road today for at least half an hour, I saw it on my way into the centre and again on my way back. I stopped to take a photo on the way back and someone had stickered it!”
It's ok everyone, it's fine to park *in a pedestrian crossing* to pick up a few bits if you've got your hazard lights on.
Hope that clears things up for a few people 👍👍
Would any other businesses be allowed to store their property on the pavement if they run out of space? Why do we tolerate this when it’s cars? - Submitted by a follower.
The convenience of Amazon versus the inconvenience of everyone else.
Visible: loading restrictions on the pavement. Not visible behind the van: grandparents with a pushchair.

R Brooks Carpentry & Building please don't use the pavement as your parking. Pavement are for people. Pedestrian crossings are not a driveway.
Cowley Road
Today's Landy count, this time on the Iffley Road near the Aston St. junction at 16.30. I can count 3: on the DYLs, blocking the bike lane, on most of the pavement.
#landycount
Hey .
@virginmedia
- are YOU ready to be moved? - your van is blocking the tactile paving at the junction here, blocking the way for visually impaired pedestrians and blocking EMS, cyclists and people using wheelchairs or mobility scooters through the modal filter. 👎👎
Hello
@midcountiescoop
, do you know what these ‘no loading at any time’ markings mean where your vans unload outside your Cowley Road branch?
They mean ‘no loading at any time’.

Watched a mum with her buggy have to walk around this inconsiderate van today, onto oncoming traffic while the driver sat in the van. Littlemore 10.10am
This driver parking on the pavement and bike path literally in front of a sign that says “Blind People” 🤨- there is a charity for visually impaired people at the corner but this driver doesn’t care that they are causing an obstruction and forces pedestrians into the bike lane.
Let's play Landy count! How many rules is this Landy driver breaking on the High St. at 4pm today? Pavement parking, DYLs, inside the bus gates when private vehicles are banned, using a bus lane, crossing the bike lane within bike traffic. Which apply? Should it have been towed?
In Abingdon near the library, blocking the bike route, which is up the lowered pink paving and between the bollards. No blue badge (submitter checked).
The inconsiderately parked van 🚐
A thread.
Driver A makes a bad choice and decides on
#pavementparking
as the parking bays 10 metres away around the corner (for whatever reason) just weren’t quite convenient enough.
I wonder what pedestrians thought of this driver's decision to park on the pavement? 🤔
The driver also failed to clear their back window before driving there.
Corner of Iffley Rd and Howard St
One person in this household has learned a lesson when called out by us, the other one hasn’t and will hopefully earn themselves a ticket. Reported to parking enforcement.
Left idling while the driver visits the Co-op on Iffley Rd (Howard St).
Submitter: "hey you can't park there"
Driver: "you gonna give me a f***in ticket or something?"
8:30am called 📞 0345 337 1138 (opt 4) telling traffic enforcement to find this

on Howard St. "Ooh, nice one!"
11:30am 🟨yellow sticker of a job well done.
Oxford's traffic enforcement officers we salute you 🫡
Note: DYLs are easily enforceable. Report them!!

Coincidentally, impeding the buses, which the children could use to get to/from school. 🤦♂️
St Aldates.
This might be the most obtuse pavement parking we've seen.
Blocking the whole of the pavement and pushing pedestrians further into the middle of the road.
Apparently this is a regular occurrence, says the submitter.
Gwenyth Rd Littlemore
Another one from our popular series “I consider the pavement outside my property an extension of my property” - the thing is: it isn’t. Pavements are for people! - Southfield Rd - submitted by a follower.
Why bother parking in the empty car park space when you can instead save walking 3 metres and make life dangerous for nursery school children during the school run?!

"Parking on a pavement isn't a victimless crime. It means *driving* on a pavement, which is deadly."
4-year-old Esmé Weir was killed by a delivery driver who didn't see her on the pavement.
5-year-old Lennon Toland was killed by a van driver on the pavement.
Bad parking kills.

Meadow Lane near Donnington Bridge.
Truth = I’m a female immigrant to the UK; an Oxford resident of 15+ years; don’t have “too much time”, on the contrary but I do prioritise what's important to me. My moral compass says call out

and I want my children to trust theirs, if the time comes.
Risinghurst Roundway this morning - forcing a buggy with a young baby out into the road. Fast food clearly more important than the safety of baby and mum!
#antisocialparking
SBAF - “Persistent parking problem on a major school route along Oakthorpe Rd -- hundreds of kids have to navigate this on foot or by bike every day.” …. This is a mandatory bike lane. Highway Code rule 140 applies.
Magdalen Rd, East Oxford. As this is a taxi, I'm also reporting it to licensing

@OUHospitals
. The buggy superhighway to the Women's Centre is out of action again ⛔! Why, with the technology available, does the parking system let in more cars than there are spaces!? 🤔
Sunday outside Sainsbury’s at The Plain roundabout on the pavement and in the cycle lane at a pedestrian crossing place. 100 metres from St. Clement's car park. Where are the DYLs? Where is the enforcement we pay for?
On Meadow Lane this afternoon. Presumably the double yellow lines are painted there to give pedestrians space to walk in the road, to avoid the cars parked on the pavement.

Picture 1 is taken yesterday afternoon around 5, picture 2 at noon today. This black Audi has been parked in the 1hr parking zone for 19 hrs - others pay for parking in the centre, the same rules don’t apply to everyone 🤷♀️
Did you know...?
vehicles parked only partly within marked bays can be fined regardless of whether they have the correct permit to park there.
Howard St, East Oxford

The enforcement officers were contacted to pay this van a visit.
Completely blocking the modal filter, the pedestrian crossing and partly on zig zag lines - Cowley Rd / Princes St
@currys
have a word with your drivers!
Remember, kids, it's not safe to cross the road between parked cars! 🤦♂️
Highway Code rule 238: you MUST NOT park on double yellow lines
Highway Code rule 243: DO NOT park at a junction
(Marston Street OX4)
Parked on DYL, blocking the bike lane. Forcing cyclist to swerve into traffic, where cars from the opposite lane are overtaking a bus. That’s

👎 - Iffley Road.
The best thing about pedestrianised streets is that there’s no cars, which means: plenty of parking! … Now we’ve seen it all. And in case you’re all going “probably delivering” - loading is only allowed between 6pm and 10am on Bonn Square.
SBAF - next level antisocial parking on Between Towns Road - there’s a multi-storey opposite and the entrance to a free car park just behind the person who took the picture.
