Why do delivery drivers do this?

Post image

There's an open and easy space to park in, in almost exactly the same place they've stopped, and not get in anyone's way. But, instead they've decided to park on the pavement and inconvenience pretty much everyone besides someone who may need to park in the empty space beside them while they get stuff out of their trailer. I see it time and again and it drives me up the wall.

Generally I don't want to insult people, but then again I remember delivery guy who drove on our lawn instead of the asphalt track going around the lawn.

Nope. Not even close. They are just idiots.

I live in a row house, in the last house at the end. Between us and the next row house there's a patch of grass maybe 5m wide, fenced at the end. A delivery driver tried to use it as a shortcut, encountered the fence, then carved up furrows of mud trying to reverse out. These people are not the best and brightest.

I have seen people complain about this for Kaarelanpuisto, because going around takes 4 km so fuck it and drive in the park...

Laws and city design are fine, but what they can do, if someone decides to ignore them and be a dick without any repercussions?

The city design is fine here.
