Weird Cycle Lanes of Brighton
Weird islands on cycle lanes

double parking

Why do we bother? The Council spends all that money on nice pink cycle lanes,
only for motorists to park (and double park) on them!
This is a particularly scary counter-flow lane at the Preston Road end
of the one-way Ditchling Rise.
But see what the council has done about it!!

The council (I assume) has erected this handy parking place for cycles
in the middle of a cycle lane – is that weird or what??

STOP PRESS! – the Council has now painted a diversion around the island!
