Obstruction from Parked Vehicles
Reported in the Obstruction or hazard on road category anonymously at 11:41, Mon 3 September 2018
Sent to Warwickshire County Council 3 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 1402835.
The turn from Tachbrook Road into Ranelagh Terrace is usually obstructed by vehicles parked on Ranelagh Terrace too close to the junction. Especially for the left turn, a vehicle parked on Ranelagh Terrace causes the complete loss of visibility and creates dangerous situations on the junction. This kind of parking is forbidden by law (Rule 243 of the Highway Code, must not park within 10 meters of a junction). An appropriate double yellow marking and enforcing the rules will help to alleviate this issue.

Warwickshire County Council does not have the authority to deal with vehicles parked inappropriately at this location. For assistance with a vehicle which is causing an obstruction you would need to contact the Police who have powers to take appropriate action. The Police have the authority as the Highway Code states“You MUST NOT leave your vehicle or trailer in a dangerous position or where it causes any unnecessary obstruction of the road. [Laws CSDPA sect 21 & RTRA sects 5 & 8]” In such a case they may issue a Fixed Penalty Notice or arrange removal/relocation of the vehicle.
