A new catch-all Tea Shop thread for those miscellaneous new stories that don’t quite fit with parking, crashing into buildings or trapped/prisoners in their homes.

Car-feee Bibury – sounds good
Car-free Bibury – sounds good to me. This seems to have been going on since October.
Cotswold villagers living in ‘England’s prettiest street’ cut off by road closure due to ‘dangerous wall’
Ambulance crews had to take one Arlington Row resident on a stretcher across the a pedestrian bridge in Bibury
Another resident said such a thing happened on Sunday. Paul Johnson said his neighbour was dashed 300 yards to an ambulance. “That’s three times,” he said. He also told the meeting that another neighbour has not been out of his home since the closure.
Gosh, what happens if you live on the 20th floor? I have literally no idea how people can have lived anywhere worked anywhere or got supplies before they all had cars.
My son’s stopped coming because of it. One you can’t park and two, you can’t access the row.” Mr Johnson said he has had no notification about the closure from the authorities nor an explanation about it.
“You can’t even get logs to your cottage which sounds a trivial thing,” he said. “I find it absolutely appalling. It’s been an absolute shambles.”

Authorisation for use of self-driving will determine if vehicles are capable of safely and lawfully driving themselves without the need for a human to exercise control or monitor the road. In vehicles with authorised user-in-charge features, a human is still required in the vehicle to respond to requests from the vehicle and to hold at all times driver responsibilities other than those relating to exerting control of the vehicle and monitoring the road environment.When an authorised user-in-charge feature is engaged, the human driver is not required to monitor the road and it would be unfair if they were to bear responsibility for the behaviour of the vehicle on the road. Responsibility for the manner of driving rests with the ASDE and an ASDE is responsible for its behaviour. To address this, Part 2, Chapter 1 of the bill creates the new concept of the ‘user-in-charge’. Under clause 46, an individual is a user-in-charge where they are in, and in a position to exercise control of, an authorised vehicle when a user-in-charge feature is engaged, but not controlling the vehicle. The user-in-charge has immunity from road traffic offences relating to how the vehicle behaves on the road as set out in clause 47.
;tldr = The person in the self driving vehicle cannot be held responsible for the actions of the self driving vehicle. Instead, the software provider or manufacturer becomes responsible.
Not sure how I feel about that…
Sydney Road in Bath – locals
Sydney Road in Bath – locals claim that it’s a rat run and like the LTN, yet South Coast Travel claim that it’s not a rat run and want the LTN removed (maybe because their coach had trouble turning round in the road as they tried to use it as a rat run):
