Including getting the car washed. It was in dire need of it after a couple of rainy trips back and forth to ClientCo this week.
They've modified the flow of traffic around the retail park by M&S, such that approximately 50% of the cars that previously travelled up the comparatively broad parking-free route through the middle now have to turn off halfway up and make their way through one of several narrower aisles with parking on both sides. This causes massive slowdowns as people wait for others to park or unpark, and greatly increases the likelihood of somebody reversing out of a parking space into a passing car.
It strikes me as an utterly insane thing to do; it's been causing general confusion and delay during the time they were working on it, but it never occurred to me that the work was intended to make that traffic flow permanent
Oh, and the only option to avoid the narrow aisles is to travel round a much longer route on the opposite half of the car park that passes between the shops and the parking, thus increasing the chance of pedestrians getting run over
