Maybe it’s a nitpick, but it’s annoying having to get on road just to walk pass it.

So people can’t discuss how this mistake could easily be made…?
Does that upset you for people to say the parking lot is actually designed terribly?
By mistake, do you mean the photo taken? I'm referring to how you said the poster should take better pictures to prove an already very obvious point.
The only indicater, the raised curb, is hidden behind the vehicle, everything else they show looks exactly like the other stalls.
It’s not obvious, if it was, the person probably would not have parked there…. Now would they….?
And where I live sometimes handicapped stalls are separated by a curb, so… not obvious the curb even means anything anyways.
So yes, a better picture to show the actual issue would be nice.
You're giving them the benefit of the doubt. Others are arguing they knew and didn't care. Either way it's wrong. Could it have been designed better? Yes. Would that stop people who still don't care? No.
Yes, why shouldn’t I? It’s a terribly designed parking lot. And its also fun to have a discussion, except when people sling insults at someone else. The discussion can help people learn, or see stuff they didn’t before. This parking lot fails basically every current “good design practice”.
If you’re gonna make your point that “it’s obvious”, well than it better be actually obvious, like with a sign or differing colors and material. Of course people can see how it’s not a spot, but it’s also just as easily seen as one.
I get this is fuckcars, but atleast don’t completely have your head in the sand that the cars and drivers are solely to blame. Sometimes the designers just fucking suck, like in OPs picture.
Even if it were obvious to the driver, cars block sidewalks all the time. This is a common problem in all situations.
