This is not quite the case, is it? Surely every time a driver (or passenger) gets out of a car s/he becomes ... a pedestrian. Ultimately there must be more pedestrians than cars, no?

The point is, of course, striking the balance. In my view, the balance is out of kilter on Devonshire Road, where pedestrians are frequently obstructed and people with prams or mobility problems are significantly disadvantaged. There are too many cars being fitted into too small a space. Many suggestions have been made in these discussions. None comes without inconvenience to someone, but we might argue for a hierarchy of transport in order to weight the balance. Prams and people with mobility difficulties might be prioritised, and that becomes a starting point for the discussion. At the moment in DR they are not at all the priority.

Here's photo (night time, mobile phone, bad picture) of a car today parked right on a corner, across the dropped kerb for pedestrians.

I think that pedestrians, and residents, are currently the ones being obstructed.
