I think you'll find on investigation that that is what is technically
known as "complete ********".

The most common reason for car drivers using the pavement is to park
on it, but they also use it to get round queues at traffic lights and
in other situations. That's whe there are bollards on the pavement
edge near my house, and bollards up the pavement along the North
Circular Road, to name just two locations.

Ask your council what is the main cause of damage to pavements.

Who do we ask to find out how many pedestrians are hit by cyclists on
pavements and how many are hit by cars?


Who do we ask to find out how many people are forced to walk in the road
to get round cars parked on pavements?
Who do we ask to find out how much extra is lumped on our council tax to
pay for broken pavements caused by cars?
Who do we ask to find out how many kids are scared at having to walk in
the road just because someone 'popped in to the shop'?
