The signs say "Pedestrian Area".

I'm aware of that and sadly am also aware of the significant dangers this produces along with the woefully inadequate instruction and training given to the staff. Still, the press reports of coppers apparently 'testing high speed motors' without telling anyone about it is always good good for a laugh! ....and we complain about 'elf and safety!!!

Whatever the signs says, I am sure you must be aware that at certain times of day cars use it. And of course, as I pointed out, police, ambulance and other authorised vehicles can use it at other times.

[serious font on]They can also travel the wrong way down a one way street, go the wrong way around a roundabout, jump red lights, SPEED, or even...... (wait for it.....) enter Pedestrian Zones in response to an emergency. But it doesn't follow that they SHOULD do any of those things if it presents an unreasonable risk and they could still be facing prosecution themselves if an incident took place when they may have used poor judgement.

Did they need to enter the pedestrian zone? [/serious font off]

Obviously they did, otherwise they wouldn't have.

WBC versus signage...mmmm

HGVs aren't permitted to access the area after 10am and the bollards won't be lowered for them either. They can however drive in at 09:55 and stay in the are all day long if they are loading/unloading all day.

Exactly.

I'm pretty sure they can't, what's the loading restriction on double yellows?

Double yellows prevent you waiting (or 'parking'). They don't prevent you from loading or unloading. There is a separate marking for areas where you are prevented from loading.

.. ...aagh... I'm getting sucked back into this website.....!

OK so it says it is but it's not.
Thanks, got that!!

Spelling mistake there I'm afraid.

You are of course correct.

I have edited my post below and will now proceed to the garden to immolate myself using barbecue lighter fluid.


Edit:


My untimely death will, of course, be blamed ON YOU.

Goodbye, cruel world.........

Sigh.

Couldn't you have waited 'till morning, then we could have had the Fire Engine test the bollards on the way to the blaze.

Watch out that Spartacus doesn't here about this, he doesn't tolerate mistakes and takes the piss out of anybody who does make them. Oh, you are Spartacus, maybe I am thinking of another Spartacus.

hear hear.

"No! I am Spartacus!"

What are you getting all inflamed about?

That's a dodgy trick. I got set on fire by my 'beloved' older brother.
(We still talk.) Just a garden stuff bonfire.I think he was a bit shocked after.
Before he shot me with his air rifle. Thankfully I was wearing corduroy shorts.
Live long and multiply....

CE, does your brother want a job?
