In London, England, where the roads are narrow, the parking spaces are limited and we have plenty of availability of vans that can actually fit things in, we still get these a*holes with their unnecessary large pick up trucks made for a road system completely different to ours…

These spaces are wider than usual and long enough to fit them but they still have to park like w*nkers blocking the only footpath around!

I mean, I have a 5 door hatchback and know that my car overhangs the back wheels, as does any primary school kid drawing a car…

      There’s a car backed in that’s blocking just as much of as the truck, wonder why they posted one and not both.

      It’s bad parking lot design if a vehicle parks with its tires touching the parking stops, and it blocks the sidewalk. Most cars front and back ends stick out a couple feet, this would be blocked by ANY vehicle doing that here.

        People should know how big their vehicle is. If you are relying on the tires hitting a stop to know, you shouldn’t be driving.

          The parking stops are for you to park against, hence their name and use… if the people who manage the parking lot installed them wrong, that’s not the vehicles fault. Look how many cars are also blocking the sidewalk in this picture.
