I wonder if the next time we have this level of snow, some creative souls couldn't create a few protected bike lanes ...

I tried building a small chicane but sadly the plough is mightier than the shovel.

PHC double parked on Dalkeith Road last night, whilst the drivers of the cars it was blocking in were trying to leave. Blocked in drivers had to reverse past the PHC, then pull out and squeeze through the gap between the PHC and the queue of oncoming cars.
Which is bad enough, but there was a free parking space about 2m away.

This morning - van parked fully on the pavement outside Sainsbury's on Leith Walk, two parked on the pavement in York Place (one half-on with the other half on zig-zags near crossing), and a van parked fully on the pavement outside Vapiano on South St David's Street.

DISTRESSED pensioners were told they would lose their parking permits – because their doors faced the wrong direction.

Delivery driver special edition today!
UPS on Oxgangs Road this morning, parked on the pavement and so close to a pedestrian refuge that a passing Graham's dairy lorry almost had to drive over the refuge's kerb in order to get past:
Amazon on Haymarket Terrace an hour or so later. It would have been so hard for the poor dear to have had to carry those four small parcels I saw him delivering all the way round the corner from Devon Place. And yes, he had left his hazard lights on:
And a bonus from yesterday, Royal Mail at the top of Haymarket Yards, parked on the pavement next to a roadworks sign (thus further restricting pedestrian access), on a double yellow line and encroached into the ASZ:
Is it part of the job description for delivery drivers that they mustn't GAF about other road users?

Parking is currently suspended on Drum St due to utility works. So tonight, people took to parking nose in on the pavement outside Domino's. Because no one could possibly want to walk there...

went through those road works this morning en route to eskbank. Old boy decided to overtake me then brake suddenly and park. In fact, not sure he saw me at all

@Schemieradge - at least that one is ostensibly mobile, unlike the blockages at the ends of the bridge.

Day Three of temporary parking restrictions on Drum Street (down to one lane each way) and someone's shifted the cones which were down the middle of the road and people are just parking outside the shops so that traffic can only go in one direction at a time.

Drove my automobile down Drum Street at half five this morning and it seemed fine.

The DPD driver who had parked their van in such a way as to almost entirely block the entrance to the shared use path from Leven Terrace - roadworks at the toucan crossing at Melville Drive are also ongoing (anyone know what the outcome will be?) so that is perhaps best to avoid for the time being.

Midlothian Council has finally got its own set of Blue Meanies to enforce parking. Lots of glee on Facebook when a couple were spotted up our Main street last week.

One driver owes £4500. Toff or in clink or both?

Hurrah - Dalkeith is a disaster. Easy pickings

@Amir Dalkeith is the main objective of the Blue Meanies I'm told. Its horrid to go down the high street which I find odd because the bus connections are great in Dalkeith and there is lots of free parking.

It must be about 5 years since the SNP promised they would tackle it!

Please don't call them 'Blue Meanies'.
