Yep

If true, it sounds completely ridiculous.

5 cycle superhighways - none in SE London hundreds of bike docking stations - none in SE London A couple of hundred tube stations and only 4 in SE London (outside of Zone 1) How can we get people out of their cars? I know, making driving a little more difficult will do it.

oh dear, oh dear.

I wonder how much it would cost to provide proper, secure bike parking at Brixton tube, as opposed to all the yellow line, speed bumps etc that are scattered around our area? I suspect the former would do more to reduce local car journeys than the latter ever will.

A bus which takes an hour to get into central London, is not equal to a tube service which turns up ever few minutes and take 10 to get into the west end (for example). Personally, I would like to see some Boris bikes at least, so that one could cycle to brixton tube - or just some secure bike parking at Brixton.

There is a massive hole in the tube network over SE London. There is a massive hole in the Boris bike network over SE London. How about fixing one, or both of these things before piling on more restrictions on private transport?

This is rather all rather meta.

Yeah, that's fair enough, except if they're bringing them to school then that does effect everyone else. I can't see any good reason for kids to have mobiles in school personally.

I?m fairly sure they don?t need a phone. It?s also arguably the case that carrying a phone makes them less safe. I would like to see all schools banning them personally.

But this is not a rational exercise.

I don't understand why they are they allowed in schools?

The measurements look to be all over the place too. Some much longer than others, or stretch further round the corner in one direction. All very odd.

Doesn't mean they won't issue a fine, but you would likely be able to challenge it successfully. Still best not to park there though.

Well done for intervening.

Maybe just paint over them in black.

As most roads already have cars parked within 10m of the corner, some have just being painted up to the nearest car. Don't know whether they'll come back to finish them off, but some just stop and are missing the vertical line where they end (which I think makes them unenforceable).

Why is parking close to a train station, a school or a hospital unacceptable exactly? Where is it OK to drive to?

And where do you think those cars have gone exactly?

Also, numbers change between astral planes.
