This maybe controversial, but I am not sure which is carrying the greater risk factor here TBH.
Is it :-
A ) running a cable across the pavement in a suitable, clearly marked appropriate cable cover to a car parked correctly up to the kerb side.
B ) Drivers who persist in parking with two wheels up on the pavement and sometimes reducing the pavement width by up to 50% !.
Access for parents with prams / push chairs / buggies and wheel chair users are severely hampered/ compromised via these actions.
Not to mention the problems it can cause to people who are visually impaired / blind of course.
Many of the older properties were rarely designed with any facility to park cars on an hard standing etc.
A even some of the more modern properties have a single hard standing space only.
If it’s a large expensive property you many be lucky enough to have a double driveway.
I am sure it is similar in your location, but in our street alone, some families now have as many as 3 or even 4 cars in the household and parking with two wheels on the pavement has become the norm.
The police in Wales have said they will be looking to enforce the laws on constant offenders, but I am unsure if this will actually happen TBH.
However I feel they are going to be kept busy enough in the next few weeks, when they reduce many of our current 30 Mph roads down to 20 Mph speed limit.
Driving at a constant 20 Mph in an EV is extremely easy practice to perform, but in a manual car it can be difficult to pull it off !.
It is too high for 1st gear
or too low for 2nd gear
in many cars.
When travelling in one of the new 20 Mph trail zones, I have had cars come up behind us first, then blast the horn, then shoot past !.
It’s doing to be fun next month alright
