No end bar. Not enforceable. They aren't double yellow lines :P

I've seen a picture of waay smaller ones somewhere... They were between two other restriction bays and close together so almost square. Also they were drawn correctly! (well, assuming measurements correct)

That's an impressive example of the term "jobsworth"

You can see that the lines have been repainted, the original paint is wider and a darker yellow.

The older lines stop with a perfectly straight edge at the edge of the anti skid surface, the most likely explanation being that someone put the anti skid surface down right over the top of them.

Then jobsworth has come along repainting manky old double yellow lines with fresh paint, and hasn't bothered to think that part of these lines may have been erased, or that they're not terminated correctly and has just painted over them as they are. His lines extend a little further and generally seem somewhat sloppy.

And your council taxes pay his wages. *sigh*
