    So, this morning an Adshel van was parked in the bus lane of the Lower Kilmacud Road as the driver did something to the advertising panels on the bus shelter.

    All over the city I've seen Adshel vans park in bus lanes, park on double yellow lines, park in cycle lanes and even park up on footpaths and not only does breaking the road traffic laws seem to be standard operating procedure for this business but they appear to do so with complete impunity, I have yet to see a Garda or Traffic warden issue them with a ticket.

    They seem to think that by turning safety beacon/hazard lights on their vans it somehow makes them equivalent to the sort of public service or emergency service vehicles which are actually permitted to park where necessary and bus lanes etc.

    Can anyone clarify if Adshel have some special permit or licence which absolves them from having to adhere to the road traffic laws the way all other businesses and individuals have to and if not why they are permitted to park wherever they want whenever they want including on a busy a busy commuter bus lane during rush hour?
