Hate it when they use sidewalk as an extra parking space (lemmy.world)

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

The fact that the sidewalk's pavers are rotated 90° compared to those in both the parking lot aisle and (more importantly) the parking space to the right is also enough to prove the designer's intent, even disregarding the color difference entirely.

I totally agree that said designer shouldn't have let aesthetics come at the cost of accessibility, though.

I didn't even notice the paver direction. That's pretty subtle for a safety feature!
