Residents are 'baffled' by new parking lines - including a small curved space around a corner.<br /><br />Locals in Denmark Road say new car parking spaces are 'bendy' - and you can't even fit a car inside them.<br /><br />Parking spots also cover the entrances to people's driveways - leaving people fearing they will block neighbours in their homes.<br /><br />Photos of the street show how one small car parking space is 'curved' around a corner.<br /><br />White “H bars” tell people not to park are painted within parking bays - which locals say is confusing. <br /><br />Bath and North East Somerset Council say the road markings are part of a wider scheme to install road parking for local residents that have improved other areas of the city.<br /><br />Cllr Manda Rigby, council cabinet member for transport, says the difficulty road planners are facing is that some of the residential roads are too narrow.<br /><br />She told Somerset Live: “One of the issues which a zone tries to address is pavement parking particularly in narrow streets like Denmark Road. <br /><br />“Specifically with Denmark Road we have talked to residents and explained how the markings work.<br /><br />“The curved bay is only suitable for smaller vehicles but does provide an additional parking space and we would take a common sense approach to enforcement.''<br /><br />One local said: “I’m worried I’m going to wake up and not be able to get out of my house.”
