Secret Gloucester Road parking

At the end of Cromwell Road, just under the arches, there's a lovely wide bit of pavement by the double yellow lines.

It's a safe place to park even a nice car, such as the BMW LX06UXU thought the presence of bike racks on the roof worry us. Are these perhaps cyclists?
Whatever, we like to show that nobody is inconvenienced and unable to get past. Here we can see a pedestrian can easily get by with only one wheel of their child's pushchair in the road.

Just Learning the ropes

The AA learner car on Cromwell Road, just of Gloucester Road isn't parking in front of the no-parking-24-hours area because it needs to.

That's the entrance to a block of student houses, which means people who need to learn to drive. In Bristol. Where knowing which keep clear signs you really need to pay attention to is important. These signs are marked "keep clear" in white, but not double yellow lined, so not a concern of Bristol Parking Services unless/until someone needs to leave the facility, in which case it's an obstruction for which you get towed. Knowing the difference between the two is useful, though the tests aren't yet up to date with such subtleties.
