Parking mad: UK's 'most pointless double yellow lines' are just 18 inches long

A council has been accused of painting Britain's most pointless double yellow lines - which measure just 18 INCHES.

The lines are curved around a corner curb at a three-way junction - but are too small to fit even a single tyre.

Residents were stunned when the lines appeared on a corner behind the Metro Bank on Adam's Walk, in Kingston, south west London.

Oliver English, who spotted the lines, said: 'I think it's stupid and more than a bit pointless.

'As a motorcyclist the way they have made the access road look pedestrian is very dangerous for pedestrians and motorcyclists.

'The pavement feels slippery underfoot and it isn't immediately obvious that it is still a road.'

Another Kingston local, who asked not to be named, said: 'Those lines are just stupid. Not even a unicycle could park there. What a waste of time.

'My daughter's little toy car couldn't even fit on that tiny bit of curb. Kingston Council are really taking the mick.'
