|  Everyday
thousands of motor vehicles driving through Lancashire. At
some point they will all park somewhere. The majority park
in designated parking spaces but many park illegally on the
street. Parking on double yellow lines, in a bus lane, across
cycle lanes or in residents' parking bays, even for only a
few minutes, causes inconvenience to other road users and
can be dangerous.
Not only is it illegal to park in a way that interferes with
or obstructs the flow of traffic or endangers pedestrians
and other road users but it also adds extra pressure and congestion
to our roads. It only takes one illegally and inconsiderately
parked vehicle to bring traffic to a grinding halt. It all
motorist's were to use proper car parks and loading bays and
adhere to the highway code when parking the roads in the towns
and cities of Lancashire would be less congested and a lot
safer.
