Ha, it gives that impression doesn't it? But no, in this context that isn't what should means. It's like an also that extends the Must Not to the additional scenario, in this case outside of London.
It's true that a lot of these things aren't enforced, and if they are it's not consistent. The thing is, the law is there and it can be enforced. If you are caught breaking it, well, that's no-one else's fault.
If that were true, the text could read “ You MUST NOT park partially or wholly on the pavement unless signs permit it. “
Definitely it should do, or something more clearly worded at least.
I think it's because of the distinction between London and elsewhere, which is also bollox. So it goes.
Interesting that it mentions London specifically. How do they cope? There are loads of terraced streets. Do they pay for nearby parking lots or is it just that they, unlike everywhere else, kept their public transport network
So if, as a council, we want to ban pavement parking around a bunch of terraces... or even just seriously restrict it, like to one side, can we make sure that there are cycle paths and bus routes then ban it and work stepwise across the town? 'asking for a friend (Cheltenham)'
