Size isn't Everything - Although 18" Sounds Quite Good

Metro (no relation - and I've been using the name longer anyway) published this story today.

This means restricted parking for something much shorter than a Peel P50 in the Tower Hamlets area of London. There should also be a post next to it with a little yellow plate detailing exactly what those restrictions actually are.

I suspect there isn't.

The Mirror also had the story and they got the Council to comment that the line "highlighted the gap between resident and business parking bays."

No it doesn't.

Nobody's going to look down there to see where one area you can't park is separated from another area you can't park.

Anyway - it could have been worse.

This is also from The Mirror...and involves a dead hedgehog.

BBC News had this one...whereby a road was resurfaced and yellow lines were painted around a parked car.

Those examples and a few other entertaining ones can be found by searching Google Images for "yellow lines" where you will also see the excellent work of Banksy:
