A SCOTS cyclist has been left fuming after spotting a raft of cars parked on the pavement with little room left for any pedestrians to get past.
Footage was captured by the cyclist earlier this week who took to social media to vent after spotting the motors in plush Jordanhill, Glasgow.
Several cars can be spotted parked with all four wheels on the pavement, despite seemingly having plenty of room to pull up at the side of the road.
The short clip from the cyclist captures the motors located primarily outside of one house on Airthrey Avenue in Glasgow.
As the cyclist flies past on their two-wheeler, the first car to be shown illegally parked is a black Peugeot.
Just a few yards down the street sits a burgundy Nissan and a white MG blocking off large parts of the pavement for any would-be runners.
Further down the road, a Nissan Micra can also be seen fully parked up on the pavement, encroaching on a pedestrian’s right of way.
Whilst a ban on pavement parking was introduced by City of Edinburgh Council at the start of the year, Glasgow City Council missed their own targets to introduce the legislation.
The council initially set March 2024 as their aim once they had successfully updated their back-office systems for implementation.
However, the council are currently still in the process of updating the system, meaning that pavement parkers get off scot-free.
The disgruntled cyclist shared their video to social media earlier this week with the caption: “Hi Glasgow City Council and Police Scotland, can you please pop round to [this address] to enforce this illegal abandonment of vehicles on the pavement. Thanks.”
The video received dozens of likes and comments from fellow Scots who were quick to offer their views on the situation.
One said: “My street is the same but with vans on the pavement and I literally have to walk on the main road until I nearly get to my front door with my twins.”
Another added: “Why are the curbs as wide as the actual road, very poorly designed.”
A third commented: “We need a new offence known as ‘vehicular littering’, it’s a plague.”
Another replied: “No harm done.”
Currently, Glasgow City Council do not penalise pavement parking as they are updating their systems to allow fines to be given.
