is becoming famous world-wide,
all because of a Ring doorbell facing the road, where a vehicle width restriction island with bollards has been placed, photograph Google
street view, Mr.
Vigor a local resident caught a series of crashes on camera. He started posting them on a dedicated
Facebook group, and before long compilation videos of car crashes were doing
the rounds online and getting picked up by major news outlets,
“I totally
get why some people find it funny because it is not outside their house. I
didn’t want it to become a joke because I want the thing removed,” Tim Vigor
told the Watford Observer. “I’ve had a few spats because people are
saying the bollards are an inanimate object, which is true, but the whole
design is wrong.” “The width
restriction is clearly signposted both on Woodmere Avenue and on adjoining
roads. Provided your vehicle isn’t wider than seven feet, you can access the
road,” a press statement read. “To put this in perspective,
seven-foot is wider than the entrance to a normal garage. Several thousand cars
use this road on a daily basis without any problems so we have no plans to make
changes to the posts on Woodmere Avenue unless local councilors ask, through
the Joint Member Panel, for alterations to be made.”
with a
reported 12 crashes caught on camera by Tim Vigor’s doorbell camera in the last
six weeks alone, the Woodmere Avenue width restriction is a bigger nuisance to
motorists than it ever was, above the most recent crash compilation,
as it happened a film crew arrived and guess what? whilst there they filmed an 'incident!', well I suppose this is one way to get Watford noticed on the world stage!
