lately in the evening, people rather than parking up are now waiting for people in the hashed area in the station car park. creating very little space for people to walk past to get to their cars...

I struggle to get my bicycle past the stream of people.

Well, many (not all) motorists have a hard time understanding yellow box (junctions), "Keep Clear", "Bus Lane" signs and also the bright red flashy things on level crossings (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-10162811).

Different people interpret the rules in their own unique way - It's obvious to me that you shouldn't stop there, unless you are in the process of dropping off/picking up. Someone else thinks that it's acceptable to wait and in some cases block the area.

Personally, I'm a relaxed motorist, so don't really care if I have to wait due to some low-level ignorance or a long hug & kiss etc
