Petition Make it illegal for motorised vehicles to park or wait in cycle lanes.
Cycle lanes can help increase confidence for cyclist with a designated part of the road, either by having it separate from roads of with road markings.
When vehicles park or wait in a cycle lane, it not only makes the cycle lane pointless, it actually increases the risks to cyclists.
More details
A cycle lane gives a cyclist a little more confidence, especially for newer cyclists.
Cycle lanes that have vehicles in them are not only a waste of money and resources, but dangerous to cyclist and moving vehicles.
The cyclist has to go further into the road in an area where a cycle lane was deemed to be needed.
What is the point in having cycle lanes that are unusage by cyclists because they are full of parked cars?
