Another episode of "me moving scooters from blocking Divinity Road-Morrell avenue pavement".....

Voi: a) get on bluesky so I can shame tag you and b) sort this out! Stop making walking a hazard for my residents and others.

PSA:
Don't stop your car just before an infamously lethal roundabout (St Clements -> the Plain) and have a passenger open the door into the bike lane when a bike (me, in this case) is approaching.

I'd like to not contribute to the road collision stats. Thanks.

"Lo and behold, a pavement parker on New High Street actually had a ticket today! "

Yay!

"Feeling buoyed, we walked around the corner to London Rd, and straight into this disaster."

Boo!

Badly parked ebikes
A coalition of active travel advocates are calling for a significant expansion of shared e-bike and e-scooter schemes in Oxford, currently provided by Voi and Lime, saying shared bikes are a vital part of the solution to Oxford's transport problems and have transformed cycling in London.

@badlyparkedox.bsky.social I've seen worse (or possibly not). In Addison Crescent)

Pedestrians can just walk around, or stay at home or whatever, who cares as long as i have somewhere to park.

We pity anyone trying to walk/wheel on the pavements of Windmill Road. A lot of submissions this week!

@livingstreets.bsky.social have found that Oxford is a #pavementparking hotspot.

Not an accolade we ever wanted.

What is Oxfordshire County Council and Oxford City Council going to do about it?

Roads are for cars
Driveways are for cars
Pavements are for cars

Where do the people go?

If my dining table didn't fit in my dining room, I'd probably get a smaller one.

Not sure why this doesn't apply to driveways too.

See, would have been rude to park in the road here, what with the zig zags and all.

Welcome to East Oxford where half of the pavement is for cars, half of the pavement is for bins, none of the pavement is for pedestrians. 👎

Maybe ODS could repaint these faded zig zags while they're at it? Would have to move off them first, though.

A thousand parking tickets and twenty thousand pounds aren't enough to stop illegal parking. Time to tow!
