  • Related, but not Argentina:

    On my trip around the US south, something stood out to me in TN: there were signs posted in some parking lots that explicitly said people needed to park in the parking spots. It felt weird until I tried to park in a busy parking lot and saw why.

    There were cars parked in no parking zones, including ramps, walkways, and fire lanes.

    There were cars parked on sidewalks.

    There were cars parked on the grass past the sidewalks.

    I could barely navigate the parking lot on foot. I have no idea how I’d do so in a wheelchair.

    Also, while I call out TN, it’s not uncommon to see cars parked in no parking zones and especially in front of ramps and walkways across the rest of the US.

    It’s sad to see that this is a common issue in many parts of the world. Raising awareness can help, but there really probably needs to be more strict enforcement.
