I like the way it even makes a cartoon-style hole in the wall too.

In their defence, the roads aren’t “essential infrastructure” as otherwise they wouldn’t be installing bus gates on them.Sounds like a solution – just keep saying every day that you’re going to install the bus gates – these people keep coming out and lying in the road – you achieve the same effect without the actual expense of doing the installation.

Doesn’t appear to be anything
Doesn’t appear to be anything to do with money in this case – rather it’s a legal dodge. From what I can understand, the government, in it’s wisdom, has told councils in England that it’s not lawful for them use ANPR to enforce parking charges. This is an attempt to say “It’s not the council wot’s doing it – it’s this private company (which just happens to be owned by the council).”

Or both. I mean they’re not
Or both. I mean they’re not wrong that the state of Oxfordshire’s roads makes them dangerous to cyclists. It’s just a bit odd that they’ve only just noticed, given that it’s the result of them having been left to slowly rot away for the last decade or so, during most of which time the council was controlled by *checks notes* ah – the Conservatives.

I don’t think they’ve come in
I don’t think they’ve come in from that end at all – all three approaches are bollarded, and I don’t think there’s room to get through. I think they must have have driven in from the market square, where you might be able to squeeze through, or there’s a drop bollard that might have been down, and all the way up the precinct, before turning the corner and encountering the fingerpost. Still baffled as to how you’d think that was a good idea though.

If you’ve bought a car that’s too big for the environment, I see no problem with fining you for parking it there – leave it somewhere where there is space. Or buy a different car. Or don’t drive.
