The sidewalk should really be a different material than the road and be labeled, that looks like a parking spot.

It's a different colour and raised. It's clearly not a parking spot.
Edit. Proof below if anybody else doubts that this is clearly a sidewalk.
Why aren’t they getting towed?
Same reason cows in India are not forcefully pushed out of the street...
Religion?
You do realize that cows that stop producing milk are pushed out to live in the street, right?
They usually die from eating plastic shortly thereafter
Else, many are sold to Pakistan for slaughter
Wow what terrible design 😬
It's not a nitpik ! We should stop to be so compliant with bad biaviour.
Whenever cars obstruct sidewalks, I think about how it affects disabled people.
How does it affect a person in a wheelchair? A sight-impaired person? A person who has difficulty walking but is forced to park further away?
You're right, it's never nitpicking to complain about a person who parks on a sidewalk, or even about a person who partially obstructs a sidewalk, for example, with a massive trailer hitch on their massive eyesore of a pickup truck.
These people might be making somebody else's day much more difficult and stressful, in exchange for saving themselves a few seconds of walking. It's pathetic and it's the actions of a sociopath.
Walk over it.
I've done this. It's fun.
Be careful not to crack the windshield while walking over it, because that'd be a real bummer for the car brain.
More importantly: don't get caught ;)
Walk over the top. Leave footprints so that they learn from their mistake.
A ticket would be better than potentially getting into trouble for damaging somebody's car. Call the police or whoever is responsible for things like this in Your country.
If you do that in my country, the police won't investigate the crime you're reporting, but they'll keep your info on file in case a car is damaged later.
If not car park, why car park shaped?? (everything is car park shaped if you're car brained)
Just walk over it?
Why would you red out their license plate?
100%
I will put deodorant on the door handles of a car that does this. Unacceptable.
Needs a bollard
Maybe you can find a big broken concrete block and put it in the middle.
Maybe if you find some yellow ribbon trash you can tie it to the block too.
All is solvable for free from trash
Oops, my hand slipped that happend to hold my keys
It looks like Poland. Drivers looove to do that shit here.
