The car was parked poorly. The parking spots can even accommodate construction vans. Here’s an angle where you can see it a bit better.
The car is parked almost half a meter away from the curb (at least at the back wheel).
I do agree that it’s a planning issue though. There is no reason that this street needs free parking spots and if they REALLY need to be there, there should be a better indication if your car is sticking out too much.
replace car parking areas with bicycle parking areas
That's a horrible parking job. They practically need to take a tram to get to the curb.
It would be so simple to paint a line on the road! I don't see one. Get out of the car, look down, re-park if necessary. And it would make ticketing easier too. Ticket if any part of the car touches or goes into the line, looking straight down. And if the other edge of the line is the max of the tram, you have the width of the line-paint as your buffer zone.
They’re trying to do that right now with blue dots but for some reason this is not road legal and needs to go through some unnecessary paperwork before it can be approved
in Strasbourg the cobblestones pattern is showing the tram space
Whaddya mean dots? Raised bumpies? I still think a solid painted line would do the job and there'd be no room for argument about whether the vehicle was in violation. I'm all for raised dots along the line, so you'd feel if your tires were over it, help you position. But you also want the fenders and mirrors inside the lines.
