If this bugs you, you should live in my city, you’d explode. They park on children and old people. They even park dog puppies to death. They’re the worst. They park the world to it’s end.
So as long as a wheelchair can squeak by a car can park on the sidewalk? Is this true or parking spaces so I can park 6" from your driver side door? What about in front of your driveway? You can get out if you drive on the grass. I'm just making sure I understand your stance on using non-roadways to park.
I bet OP is from the US. In Europe people park their cars anywhere they fit, on any side of the road or sidewalk. So many of their cities were built before personal cars became a thing, after all.
I haven’t been in all of Europe but that’s absolutely not the case everywhere (if anywhere idk).
Here, parking on the sidewalk is prohibited and a fine is around 110€. The parking in the image is technically illegal, but I don’t know if it would be fined in practice.
Where is “here” for you? I totally understand how it can vary by country. I was most recently in the UK, and I saw cars parked anywhere they could fit.
It’s only illegal in the UK in London (wierd exception, imo). On other places it’s down to local byelaws (our local council states that a car must allow enough space for a wheelchair to pass for example, although it’s rarely enforced).
Europe is not a single culture or a single homogeneous entity, dipshit. Don't talk about what people do "in Europe" as if we're a small village somewhere. What you're describing is certainly not true of my country.
This is in Europe, but the mildly infuriating part isn’t about the sidewalk, it’s about the car being crooked. If it were US these would probably all be SUVs.
The only thing I can think of (aside from the remote possibility that someone’s trying to move something very wide along the walkway and their way is blocked by 1") is that it’s very pseudo-OCD triggering, which definitely would put it in the Mildly Infuriating camp, just not in the way that is normally posted here.
Definitely not for the sidewalk. I found it mildly infuriating for the car to have the rear axis be crooked. But maybe that’s just handled by suspension and not an issue at all. But it looks unpleasant for the car to park like that.
Not a single sidewalk is built to last the weight of a car. They are build as cheap as possible (sand bed + stones), because they are not supposed to get exposed to heavy loads. That’s why they are often in bad conditions, they usually don’t even have tree root protection, so they get regularly misformed from below and above
