Caroline Moore, the owner of The Flower Shop in Batley, is one of the signatories to Lockwood’s petition.
Moore said her florist’s was situated next to another “blind corner” and double yellow lines had been painted along that entire section of the street.
But, despite the presence of “free parking a few yards around the corner”, Moore said cars would be parked illegally “all day, every day”.
“I have seen crashes directly outside the shop because of the way people have parked,” she said.
“There are near-misses almost on a daily basis. There is no let-up,” she added.
Pointing out to the street where a car was parked on double yellow lines in front of the shop, Moore said the vehicle had been there for some hours and this was a common sight.
She said that vehicles parked in that position made “the whole town come to a standstill” as buses leaving the nearby bus station could not get through.
Employees at two other businesses along the same street, who did not want to be named, agreed with Moore and said these large traffic jams happened on a daily basis.
