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.
