Double yellow parking

Cars are constantly parked on the double yellow lines on the run up to the trafic lights. If there is trafic turning right in the right lane then your stuck until they're all gone because you've got no way of getting into the left lane until your one or if your lucky two cars length away from the line. It's a joke, surely the police drive past this multiple times every day and do nothing. Council is a joke and so are the police in widnes
