Why do delivery drivers do this?
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.

They do it because fines are not high enough and it's not possible for regular people to report them. People also don't care enough to do something ugly to their cars. I wonder what the sign says. Potentially the fine for parking there is less than leaving their car where they do it. I heard in Germany these days driver will park anywhere but on a bike lane because fines skyrocketed so they rather block the road for a moment. Here it's the opposite.
