Badly Parked Oxford

A car parked with its rear blocking half of the pavement

PSA: The pavement is not an extension of your property. #antisocialparking

an ODS van on zig zags outside Templar's Square shopping centre.

Maybe ODS could repaint these faded zig zags while they're at it? Would have to move off them first, though.

South Oxfordshire Council takes on power to tow vehicles with unpaid fines Cars on Pettiwell in Garsington have racked up more than £20,000 of unpaid parking fines since 2024.

A thousand parking tickets and twenty thousand pounds aren't enough to stop illegal parking. Time to tow!

Plumber's van WF25EWY parked blocking an electric vehicle charging bay.

@badlyparkedox.bsky.social I'll only be on this job a few hours, people can charge their cars elsewhere.

Pavements are for people – not for parking How the pavement parking ban in Scotland is transforming things for one family.

Five years on from the Government’s consultation on pavement parking in England and there is still no action.

Meanwhile, Susanne and her son Joseph, a wheelchair user, found freedom in Scotland, where there pavement parking is restricted. Read about their story here 👇 http://bit.ly/4hicmQe

A staggered crossroads in Charlbury. There is a fingerpost in the foreground. Across the road is a black Audi, parked right on the corner of a junction.

A black Audi parked on double yellows on the corner of a junction.

More crap parking in Charlbury, on a junction.

Luckily, nobody was parked on the junction opposite as they usually do. Otherwise, that would've been game over in terms of getting the bus through.

A van belonging to Bicester Removals parked completely blocking the footpath.

From a local (Bicester) Fb page today. A couple of typical responses of, 'they're only trying to earn a living' 🙄

Car parked on pavement across driveway & over Voi e-scooter & bike-hire bay

4x4 car parked in middle of pavement.

Cowley Centre earlier today.

Back in the day you'd arrange a parking suspension (that still happens in some more genteel parts of Oxford), and your removal van could have kerbside access. But elderly pedestrians, wheelchair users, & pushchairs don't matter much, anyway, they can just go around surely?

Yellow lines and dropped kerbs into a parklet are overrated anyway. Often the whole dropped kerb is used as overflow parking, but why not when the consequences are nada.

I've given up bothering to report it as nothing is done.

Rymers Lane and Church Cowley Road very close to the junction. Blocking the view for pedestrians trying to cross Rymers Lane, at what feels like a dangerous junction.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

11 year-old objector to retro planning permission: walking to and from school was "difficult and dangerous" because of cars on the footpath.

"It makes it impossible for me to safely commute to school."

Motorists have been encroaching on pedestrian space since the early days of motoring. This shot is from The Automobile magazine (USA), 1902.
