They are currently costing the tax payer money.Guidelines suggest that a certain amount of tailgating should be permitted. The risk to the public of a bus tailgater is small if any.Either that or the driver felt 'trapped' and didn't appreciate that the carpark is a legitimate exit.Yes, but everyone should play their part. This is a poor bit of road design. When one drives in to a relatively busy area, their attention will be drawn to pedestrians, other vehicles, parked cars, cyclists, etc... it seems clear to me that this makes acknowledging signage more unlikely.
At the end of the day, the biggest problem here is a poorly thought out pedestrian area. It is not an exclusive pedestrian area and because of that we will always have this problem.
It seems we tell drivers wehere they cant go and haven't put a sign in to tell them that the car park is an escape route at the dropped curb. If we expected them to use their common sense, we wouldn't put any signs in at all.
I say lets just put our heads in the sand and pretend it's not happening in our town
