Is it right that people should risk serious damange and possible serious injury for the sake of entering a restricted parking area? I can understand having them on the entance to 10 Downing Street or somewhere like that, but Manchester City Centre?
If that video is manchester then and it is where I think it is then nobody has any excuse - it's extremely well signposted with big red no entry signs and the road is marked with no entry as well. Beyond it is a pedenstrianised area which is often crowded and lots of people crossing the road. The alternative is to let them through and risk an innocent bystander getting killed.
But cars quite clearly are permitted to use that area because if you look at the very beginning of the lkip there are cars parked on the right hand side of the lane.
Looking at it purely from a casualty reduction point of view, how can we advocate potentially serious injury/damage for the sake of a technical infringement?
