Unfortunately that looks like a Parking restriction, not a Waiting
restriction.

I don't think you can have a session-limited "No Waiting" sign.

As no unattended parking is allowed by the Police, what's the
difference between a Waiting and a Parking restriction?

That's not a compulsory sign, though. And the whole problem is that the
police *don't* enforce anything in practice.

surely that's because it has been "devolved" to the council

LAPE, but the things mentioned in the "Police" notice are not within their
jurisdiction.

I spent ten minutes there earlier today, and it's a toss-up between people
who think that if they put on their hazard flashers

I had to wait in a line to pass someone who had turned on their "yes I know
I am a selfish ****** who has left their car as an obstruction to everyone
else whilst I wait for my passenger" lights, only yesterday.

It isn't just central London, and it isn't just taxis
