BOLLARDS DESIGNED TO TACKLE BRIGG PARKING PROBLEM
The parking problem near the Bigby Street zebra crossing in Brigg appears to have been resolved by replacing cones with bollards.
After North Lincolnshire Council resurfaced and re-marked the crossing a few weeks ago, some motorists thought fresh lines painted near the zebra indicated some new, free parking bays (but very narrow ones).
However, the lines were actually supposed to indicate that people should not park there at all.
As a stop-gap measure, temporary no parking cones were quickly placed in the offending area to ensure there were no more instances of parked cars reducing visibility for drivers trying to exit Queen Street.
North Lincolnshire Council, the highway authority, has now installed bollards to do the same job as the cones.
Below are two pictures showing what it was like with the traffic cones in the same area of Bigby Street.
