Cars conitnually parked opposite junction
Reported in the Parking on street category anonymously at 14:09, Sat 3 August 2019
Sent to Rugby Borough Council and Warwickshire County Council 1 minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 1718661.
For over two years cars have been parking directly opposite this junction on the west side of the main road in Dunchurch.This causes queuing traffic and is a hazard to vehicles turning out of the side road as they encounter oncoming vehicles where they dont expect them. Traffic trying to dodge the queue regularly cause further hazards. Particularly a problem for buses and large vehicles. One grey Range Rover is regularly parked there, obstructing road and pavement and has already been hit at least once. Photos and dash cam footage available but obstructions can be witnessed on most days morning and evening

Warwickshire County Council does not have the authority to deal with vehicles parked inappropriately at this location. For assistance with a vehicle which is causing an obstruction you would need to contact the Police who have powers to take appropriate action. The Police have the authority as the Highway Code states“You MUST NOT leave your vehicle or trailer in a dangerous position or where it causes any unnecessary obstruction of the road. [Laws CSDPA sect 21 & RTRA sects 5 & 8]” In such a case they may issue a Fixed Penalty Notice or arrange removal/relocation of the vehicle.
You make like to raise this issue with the police via your local Community Forum. Three priorities are set for Police attention at the Community Forum - for the next three months. Actions and outcomes of the chosen priorities are then reported back to the next Community Forum. Residents are welcome to attend these meetings.

This problem is getting worse and becoming dangerous. I notice that drivers now seem to be taking to honking at the vehicles to draw attention to this bad parking
