Crossing, 30th April

Tue, 30 Apr 2024 09:39:21 +0100
51.879618 0.92052

Every morning there is a guy who leaves his big suv just on the crossing to walk his kid to school. He leaves his car with engine too what I guess is illegal to. I am a disabled person and my son rides a bike. A car parked just on crossing makes my life harder and I find it impossible to walk further. There are more people like this just on school run times, in the morning and in the evening too. Every parent can park in the parking located on Rec and it is just a few meters of walking then. Too far for some. Unfortunately I have no pictures.
