Hull's traffic wardens on dawn patrols to clear bus lanes

“On roads such as Anlaby road one lane is simply not enough to cope with the volume of traffic. The sooner the bus lanes are removed, the sooner Hull will start moving again.

If the private bus companies want there own private road then they should put up the money to build one.”

“0700 is dawn? What about in summer?”

“It used to take me about 3 minutes to get to the city centre down Anlaby Road. Now, I go to Brough to catch the train because of the morning traffic chaos. Let's remember that the buses are private companies operated for profit. Why should they have their own private stretch of road paid for by us motorists?"

The Anlaby Road is not funded by motorists, but by the KHCC council tax payers many of which will not even own a car.”

“Hull's traffic warden's are a burden on my eye-sight, every time I pass them on Clough Road I feel like clobbing them over the head with a wooden baton....

However this is interesting:

“Whilst on holiday on Tenerife I have seen illegally parked cars ticketed and forcibly removed by the Authorities in minutes. A lot of the time the owner's of the vehicles were stood by the side of the road not being allowed to move it once the ticket had been put on the vehicle. It is pointless fining the owner only for the vehicle to be left where it is, still causing an obstruction, which is what is trying to be prevented in the first place.

Another place this tends to occur is outside of schools even on zig-zag lines, some people don't seem able to different Law that applies between NO STOPPING and NO PARKING. Even though they get ticketed someone else decides to chance their luck day after day. We need more of a deterrent. Tow them away and make the culprits pay even if it's not profit making. These people cannot be stupid otherwise how did they pass their Driving Test, but then again a lot nowadays seem to drive with no consideration for other Road Users and sometimes not even within the Law!

I was once told by a man in his fifties, in a Council van who drove out in front of me, of course I didn't run in to him, that the Rule for Roundabouts was not the same applied to mini-roundabouts. He was so sure he was right and wanted me to wait whilst he contacted his boss, who would come and lecture me. I only hope his boss is more intelligent. I was also told by another motorist on Lambwath Road, if you enter from James Reckitt Avenue end you have Priority all the way through to Sutton Road. Again this is misinterpretation as there are only two give way points on that Road. Travelling in that direction, the first being at Cherry Lane and the second at Burlington Road. The 20mph is frequently not adhered to down this road also, probably by the same people exercising their right of Priority which apart fom two places they don't have. Education in Road Traffic Law and Rules seems to be the Key factor as well as common sense which is seriously lacking.”

“they want to use their brains when parking down reservoir road they seem to abandon there cars all over!!!!!!”

“As has been pointed out on a few of these posts, part of the problem is "the bus lane" and another part is amount of traffic on roads that where not built to cope with it.

When bus lanes where introduced, bus or bicycle were the main source of transport for commuters, and kids walked to school, not many could afford a car or had as far to travel. thus the traffic flowed better, there was far less of it. Now most buses are empty, they are too expensive or inconvenient, kids are driven to school, and more use the car, thus there is more traffic and it goes slower. the roads need improving and widening to cope with the increased flow. An illegally parked vehicle with a ticket is still as much of an obstacle as an illegally parked one without. Unless the wardens have powers to have vehicles towed away, its a joke, and frankly just more spin from a backward thinking regime.”

“spain 2010, dont class all public transport users as poor its (morons) like u who dont careand sit in your car causing traffic jams, i own a car but choose to us public transport its quicker in rush hour.”

“blakey.. i thought you were on the buses, lad”

“Hang on , Martin Mancey is he the man who drove up Beverley Road up the wrong side of the dual carriageway while been drunk not so many moons ago?”
