Angry locals have put up their own ‘stupid skinny road’ warning sign after constant traffic jams, beeps and crashes.
Residents of Burley, Leeds decided to take matters into their own hands after squeezing drivers often saw cars taking up pavement space to pass each other.

“There are constant beeps and constant crashes on the road and that’s not an exaggeration.”
Another neighbor agreed, saying: ‘Some drivers on the highway are very impatient, as when you enter the road, people are trying to surround you.’
He added that drivers using it as a cutoff and unsuitable vehicles like trucks using it also add to the problems.

She said: ‘We’ve seen things like the wing mirrors cut off. It’s a little frustrating, but it’s not a big problem.’
I would not like the road to widen. I just think it needs to be controlled more.
She added: ‘I’d like to think the sign makes people a bit more aware of the fact that it’s a very narrow path.
‘It’s difficult when we get deliveries, but it is what it is. It hasn’t changed in the 10 years we’ve been here.’
However, not all residents appear to be concerned about the road, with another neighbor downplaying the severity of the road altogether, saying, “It’s okay.”
