The cars shouldn't be parked there - do you agree with that?
-
But on page 1 you say there is no parking pressure: What are you saying Southwark has created? By preventing drivers from breaking the rules they're creating pressure?
-
Of course it's a thing - go and have a hunt on tik tok or instagram and see kids pushing lines of them over...

It's clearly not deflection to ask for your answer before answering your question. It's just politeness. My point was that you evidently haven't hired a lime bike. To end the contract you have to upload a photograph of the bike parked upright in a safe position. They're geofenced to prevent them from being parked in prohibited areas. Unless the photo is approved then the hire stays live and you continue paying until its parked in a way that meets their t&c's. If you leave it lying on the ground you can't just walk away. Or you can but you would end up being charged hundreds of pounds and lose your lime account. Rows of bikes lying in their side have been pushed over.

Please answer my question first.
-
Please, as clearly an expert user tell us - what do you need to do to end a lime bike ride on their app?

Drivers are already massively subsidised by wider tax payers. You have got to the point now where you are arguing: 'boo hoo, it's outrageous, i just had to park my car on a double yellow line, on a dropped curb, which means a mum with a buggy / wheel chair user has to bump down the curb into road traffic to get around my car because the beastly council made me pay 60p per day to store my private property on public roads'.
-
But at the start of this thread, it was said that they were being implemented to create parking pressure that didn't exist before. then there's a series of posts pointing out the illegal parking on junctions without extended yellow lines. Not only making the junctions unsafe but removing access to dropped curbs and tactile paving for Disabled people. These illustrate that drivers were ignoring the Highway Code. Putting in yellow lines is the only way drivers are going to realise they can't just park where they like without the risk of a consequence. And you have never been allowed to park over drive ways. It's literally listed on the previous page under rule 243. It's almost like rule breaking is being justified for cars by some posters.
-
Hang on, earlier on you said there was no parking issue and now you are saying that there is one...
-
Are you seriously saying that car drivers should be allowed to ignore sections of the highway code and park illegally next to junctions? the last point is just 'but cyclists'.
-
The application of existing laws under the highway code is now a Southwark war on motorists? Such a strange take for someone apparently committed to improving road safety. Cars legally shouldn't be parked there as has been pointed out three times in the posts above. Drivers can get a ticket if they do (irrespective of DYLs or not). That clearer signage has to be done suggests that drivers are unaware contents of the test they passed or are just ignoring rules of the highway code. I would love to think who you perceive will hold them to account. DFT for applying the law? Or the electorate who didn't vote for Tory Clive Rates who is also coincidentally campaigning on this issue.

Its 243 - do not / must not stop within 10m It really isn't. It's Its the minimum distance set out by the highway code.
-
Should cyclists have the same speed restrictions as motor vehicles?

It still exists, just because you are unaware of it, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen: https://www.bikeability.org.uk -
What are you on about now? The original post made no joke if it: the blue sky post makes a comment about how illegal driving was now happening in real life on Lordship Lane. Perhaps ask your children what GTA IRL means?

The original post hasn't been edited - so it's unlikely that the poster removed it clandestinely. I've no idea how to embed posts, but here's another version of it https://x.com/DulwichRoads/status/1886046149640958391 i'm neither the original poster or the sharer of it on here btw.
