What do thousands of drivers do in the Russian capital each day? The answer is obvious – they look for a parking lot. As there are not enough parking spaces in Moscow, drivers have to either be impudent and park their cars very close to other cars (contrary to all rules and the convenience of others) or look for a parking lot within several hundred meters from the destination… However, there is one more option – to park on a sidewalk.
A sidewalk is no longer a pedestrian area. The choice is poor: you can either wipe a side of a car with your clothes or walk along the roadway.
And what are moms with strollers supposed to do?
A privileged place at the entrance.
Parking across the sidewalk.
Public transport can’t approach stops…
This is mainly because of private taxi cars standing at “profitable places”.
Or simply because of the impudence of drivers.
A separate topic – places for people with disabilities which are ALWAYS occupied! Even when other lots are vacant.
Car owners! This parking lot can hold 8 cars, but if you park close to each other, then – 9!!! Park your cars closer!!! Respect each other!!!
Obviously this poster has no effect…
Most two-lane roads turn into the one-lane.
A lawn is usually occupied immediately.
Tanks are not afraid of dirt.
If you have parked on a lawn the first, then be sure that other drivers will most likely follow your example.
Somewhere grass has already disappeared.
Cars parked in parks disturb nobody anymore.
The only thing that can help – posts preventing them from entry.
Or high curbs.
Lawns are restored.
The example of an “eco” parking lot.
“Drivers! Remember, children are on the road!”
But one of the most effective measures is still an evacuation to a pound.

I was in Kazan a few months back. I saw many cars improperly parked. So I am not surprised at the photos. If cars were parked like that in my city they would of been tagged and towed. Solutions could be designated parking lots, parkades and paid parking as a deterrent.Many empty building lots could be used for temporary designated parking areas.
A. Bunka here. Automobiles are the alpha species on this planet and should be permitted to park where they wish…
They can park where ever they want in Russia because there are no rules
I believe the proper term for these people is “douchbag parkers”.
If there were enough parking space, people wouldn’t park where they shouldn’t.
For the western viewer that may be shocking .. but its looks absolutely normal for me .. its same here in Bulgaria :>.
bulgaria is just european part of a turkey not western, lol
Don’t park in Student town.
they need “London style” parking control… unfortunatly, that may cause civilian unrest lol
My car is parked in garbage.
i thought here in ny parking was bad.
same in France and Italy only that the tickets costs an eye of your head if they catch you.
Car drivers are an international species: unrespectful , rude to pedestrian and wheelersporters and dangerous
Italy is almost the same, except roads are usually in less terrible condition.
This is a common European problem, if not a global problem. Where to find a parking spot. Especially in places full of cars and smaller streets.
Russia does not know how to park!
The country will obviously not know how to park, because it’s a country.
This happens in the United States too maybe just not as often as in Russia.
wait till u see in malaysia, the parking attitude here even worst… lol
Some of these pics make me wonder why there’s a wide street and parking prohibited and some that why the street is so narrow when there’s huge empty space on both sides. Surely not purely political reasons like here in West?
(Greens (the ideology and many of those) don’t need cars to do work so those are more or less prohibited by blocking the traffic (on purpose) and removing parking slots: No-one else is not allowed to have car either because *I* don’t need one. Does that sound familiar?)
That’s the other side of the issue, the other is that some people are douchebags.
