Comment on Why? There is enough space on the parking lot

  The design failure is only failing to anticipate that people are going to be assholes. The two are not mutually exclusive.

    The design failure is not following parking lot design best practices and installing parking stoppers or bollards on spaces that are directly next a walkway. People are going to pull forward to the only point of reference they have which, because there are no lines or stoppers, is the sidewalk curb.

      so if you park your car you just drive forward until you hit a concrete block or the curb?

        Isn’t that why cars have “bumpers”? To “bump” into things?.. /s

    No one is “being an asshole” they are just trying to “park all the way in”. A block is specifically there to communicate AND enforce that

      To try to park all the way in is an asshole move.

        A normally zoned, and properly provisioned parking spot has a stop, and would never be designed where cars would block pedestrian access.

        It is normal to pull in and expect a stop point.

        Depending on size or design of car you may be accustomed to not hitting the stop block (low car, small car, etc), but you would, as the driver, assume you are not inappropriately “in” if you HAVEN’T touched the (in this case inexistent) stop block.

        All of these drivers subconsciously believe they are comfortably in the spot, without sticking out front or back. Because of this one of them have any suspicion they need to look to double check.

        One of the core principles of car and pedestrian cohabitation is to use barriers and information to keep cars and pedestrians separated, without relying on the “common sense” of the driver.

        Drivers do not have “common sense” of a heavy machine, and must be separated from impinging on pedestrians.
