The thoughtless driver of this Volkswagen has parked his or her car more than halfway across the footway, alongside a street cabinet, which already narrows the pavement. Most of the other cars in the shot also have two wheels on the footway, though none have left so little room for pedestrians. Highway Code rule 244: "You MUST NOT park partially or wholly on the pavement in London, and should not do so elsewhere unless signs permit it. Parking on the pavement can obstruct and seriously inconvenience pedestrians, people in wheelchairs or with visual impairments and people with prams or pushchairs".
