Motorists left baffled after council paints double yellow lines that are just a foot wide
- Locals claims city council must be expecting ‘Noddy’ to visit in his iconic tiny car
- Social media post poke fun at the council with some suggesting council bosses think people are trying to park unicycles
They are seen as a scourge to some motorists desperate to find a place to park.
But these foot-wide double yellow lines painted by a section of kerb in Edinburgh have left locals baffled.
Residents of Leith spotted the paintwork on Duke Place on Sunday.
An image shared online shows the freshly daubed yellow markings.
The lines sit on a corner of pavement separating two normal parking bays, which looks to measure little more than a foot in diameter.
The lines have left locals feeling that Edinburgh City Council (ECC) must believe people to be using outdated modes of transport.
Locals have been left baffled after spotting a set of miniscule double yellow lines painted by a section of tiny kerb on an Edinburgh road.
The picture was shared to social media yesterday (SUN) with the caption: ‘New double yellow lines on Duke Place. They really are having a laugh marking this tiny part of the kerb.
‘Do they think people ride around town on unicycles? Council is literally laughing at us all authorising something like this to have double yellow lines painted on it.’
The post received over 240 likes with dozens of comments from Edinburgh locals who were quick to offer their views.
One said: ‘I’m just picturing a tiny wee clown car pulling up at that kerb and a dozen members of our esteemed local authority climbing out of it.’
Another joked: ‘Maybe expecting Noddy to visit with his wee car.’
Edinburgh City Council was contacted for comment.
