Southwell Street: new BRI signage

There’s some new signs up on Southwell Street, at St Michael’s Hospital

UH Bristol
Private Road
No parking
on double
yellow lines


No Parking at an any time
private property
(small print about how there’s a fine of £60 for doing so and if you don’t play up they will go to the DVLA for your details)
 
Any cycles chained or locked to these railings will be removed -contact security


There are some covered bike racks, about enough for ten bicycles. Why no more?
 
Even after taking away the pavements to provide parking, even after creating a parking basement for staff, there isn’t room for any bicycles.

As to the other signs -and interesting topic. It’s not clear that this is "a private road" -it is just a street in Kingsdown, albeit one whose pavement has been co-opted by the BRI.

Someone with a residents permit and time on their hands should test this

  1. Half of Southwell Street is 'Private'. Basically up to the bollards. Map here: http://www.bristol.gov.uk/sites/default/files/documents/transport_and_streets/parking/bristol_controlled_parking_zone_extensions/kingsdown-rps-detailed-map-of-area.pdf

    Not sure how that happened, though...
