Parking in Cycle Lanes

It is not only illegal to park motor vehicles in cycle lanes, it is particularly dangerous for cyclists. Some people need to be far more responsible for their actions in this regard. Very short term parking in a cycle lane, may be necessary, but not acceptable. Long term parking in cycle lanes is totally unacceptable and extremely irresponsible. The provision of cycling lanes is necessary to (a) provide a safe lane for cyclists, (b) give cyclists their own space and therefore encourage proper lane discipline, (c) prevent, as far as possible, serious accidents, etc. There is blatant and irresponsible disregard for this in many areas.
