Creative parking in Europe

Europe's population density issues have led to a lack of parking, and in many areas people have taken to news ways of parking: on sidewalks, perpendicular with Smart Cars.

One result when cars park on sidewalks is that pedestrians are forced onto the street, causing more accidents.

Another issue is narrow streets.
