The organisation of traffic management is useless though. A city the size if Durham has a very small coach parking area, with provision for about 8 at the most, several roads in the city are closed for the day, so it would make sense for one of them to be a designated coach parking area. Same every year though, not enough space, so you get coaches parking on the roadside next to the coach park. The road is narrow and has double yellow lines, but without better provision, there is no alternative
