‘Just walk round’
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

Hey .

- 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

, 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’.

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?

"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.

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.
