You can't park there, mate

For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).

Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.

Rules:

No deaths or serious injuries because who would be around to get told they couldn't park there?

People keep bashing this bridge and consequently parking where they shouldn’t. It’s locally known as the Britney Bridge: Hit me baby one more time!

I just want to see how many more warning signs they are able to tack on there.

We have one of these in the US too. https://11foot8.com/

The videos are highly entertaining.

Sounds like Ely Bridge needs a youtube channel.

Entertaining but the article is from October 2025.

There were ~~three~~ two hits this week. Quite why the BBC local news link pointed to 2025 I’m not sure. Anyway, here is the latest update. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0q25vw71neo

Between this bridge and the guided busway traps in St Ives we could keep this community entertained for a fair while.

Every low bridge I have heard of is at least locally famous in a pretty big radius. How do people still hit them?

They're training new drivers every day?

Not sure how much training these drivers are getting.
