How is this not already a thing? The pavement is not the street, don’t put your personal vehicle on it I mean is it that difficult?
In Australia it’s illeage to park on the sidewalk (pavemnt) everywhere afaik(?) people do it anyway and enforcement is lax becase the outrage from car owners when it does occur occasionally means abuse to local govenerment who enforce these things.
I remember one article, some family had 7 cars (three adult kids, m other and father) and the entitlment was based around “where elese are we supposed to park our cars!”
We lived in a large medium density apartment complex for a number if years and there where forever people parked over the sidewalk on my walk to the shops and to be fair the local goverment did ticket them occasioanly.
On the plus side, we easily lived car free and rented our two assigned parks out to thirsty car owners ($80 each oer week) those fees covering our outgoings, so that was great :)
I love car owners for that. It’s always “what about me? What about prioritizing me?”. My local community Facebook page is full of them, they are all so mad about the only bike lane in the neighbourhood and after the last snowfall(two huge ones back to back) they could only complain about not having their back alley and their sidewalk cleared like the city wasn’t scrambling to clear everything.
My car was trapped, too. As usual I just took the metro and had the barest amount of patience.
