    But how many double-decker buses does that relate to?

    I think they should paint each section of the road red then green and
    you shouldn't drive on the same colour road as the car in front

    I admit my own interpretation of what was intended was wrong, I hadn't
    seen the picture in the book and had thought it meant two gaps apart
    not two chevrons, even though that is not what was said.

    I think it should say "Drive no closer than the gap between a pair of
    Chevrons, unless it's raining or icy weather in which case that will
    probably be too close"

    So how about a local sign now removed? "No Echelon Parking"

    I thought Echelon Parking was standard practice for bikes.

    It is, but I wonder how many drivers the sign confused?

    Two double-decker buses, four wardrobes and a washing machine.

    Or 0.15 football pitches.

    We did this ages ago. I even did an ASCII diagram not unlike yours,
    but ICBA to check the archives because I am on my hols.
