[Newer image: #173233] [Image taken 13.8.21] Deangate junction with Minster Yard, York. No loading at any time sign and markings have appeared. Alas, according to the Highway Code, this does not mean people cannot be set down or picked up. A large number of the vehicle movements is taxi drivers picking up/setting down and people collecting children from nearby schools by car. The issues are that drivers block the gap - obstructing sightlines for all, some drop off people into the area others are walking/cycling/wheelchairing through rather than on the pavement (left out of image), and because drivers can't continue through, they must turn. This means a journey to here, a journey out again, and multi-point turns in the space 'people' are moving around. The vehicle movements mean pollution and the risk of hitting someone, particularly a small someone. Other issues today: #173196 and links.
