Or blocking a curb cut. This is endemic in my city, and can at times make intersections basically impassable in a wheelchair.

- kqr 4y agoIf you ever feel like parking outside of designated spaces, this is the test you should use. Walk around your car and ask yourself, "can a person in a wheelchair go from this side of my car to the other without being too inconvenienced?" Be particularly attentive to rough ground (cobblestone), curbs, puddles, lamp-posts or other obstacles. If your parking passes that test, it generally also accommodates the blind, bicyclists, children, etc. It's not hard to find spaces that pass the test -- which is also why it upsets me so when people neglect to.

Once in SF I left my car for about 20 minutes in Haight-Ashbury on a curb that didn't seem to have any particular reason to be yellow. I returned to find that what had seemed on first inspection to be a wall was in fact a very subtle gate that slid sideways, and a few people standing around were angry with me. (When I returned to the spot weeks later, there was a new sign.)
