I want to use this specific example of the driver of LR15 KLA parking on double yellow lines and obstructing a dropped kerb to make a more general point.
The parade of shops at that end of Ashburnham Road is busy and that means lots of people crossing Ashburnham Road and Croft Way to get there but there is no provision there to make it easy for them to do so, e.g. traffic islands. Worse than that, the entrance to Croft Way has been widened to make it easier for cars to go around the corner but making it further for pedestrians to walk.
I hope that once Richmond Council have fixed Ham Parade with the pedestrianisation of the slip road that they look at making similar improvements to the areas second busiest shopping parade.
