An advertising hoarding for the Greenwich Peninsula development. Is it the designer’s fault the barrier obscures the text? Yes. The sign only appears in this one location, which they should have checked out first. Sloppy.

Those staff cutbacks must really be hurting. Still, no need to go to the expense of getting a whole new sign made.

You can’t park here. Someone else can. But I have no idea who. First time I’ve seen a disabled parking bay that really is disabled.
