On Saturday I was in my very small town with my baby and toddler. Baby was in the pram, I was holding the toddlers hand.
There is a pedestrian crossing, not a zebra crossing, at one point in the town. There is a dropped kerb, a yellow box, and blister paving on the path beside it. There are a few of these in town and it is a constant problem with people blocking them.
A van was blocking it this time, since his number was on the side I decided to call him, I said 'Hi, you are parked in a yellow box blocking the pedestrian crossing, where the kerb is dropped to let people cross easily' He said he was doing a quick job.
I then crossed the road by lifting the toddler, and lowering the pram backwards onto the road. It is a little steep. I was able to then use the dropped kerb on the other side.
The man returned to his van and happened to drive by me. He yelled out the window at me that 'it is not a pedestrian crossing you idiot' something else I didn't catch. And smirked/ laughed. I just said it is. I felt a bit intimidated.
It is inconvenient and dangerous for me with a pram. But blocking those crossing means that people who use wheelchair cannot cross at all. And we have 3 (that I know of) people who use electrical wheelchairs in town.
YABU - not your business where he parks stay out of it
YANBU - it was OK to call him on it
