There's an open and easy space to park in, in almost exactly the same place they've stopped, and not get in anyone's way. But, instead they've decided to park on the pavement and inconvenience pretty much everyone besides someone who may need to park in the empty space beside them while they get stuff out of their trailer. I see it time and again and it drives me up the wall.

No consequences.
Because they don’t give a shit
Because an average house plant have bigger IQ than average delivery driver
Because they’re lazy assholes and walking that extra 2 meters is too much.
They do it because fines are not high enough and it’s not possible for regular people to report them. People also don’t care enough to do something ugly to their cars.
I wonder what the sign says. Potentially the fine for parking there is less than leaving their car where they do it.
I heard in Germany these days driver will park anywhere but on a bike lane because fines skyrocketed so they rather block the road for a moment. Here it’s the opposite.
Drives me mad too – I regularly see people just driving down the pavement because they want to avoid some awkward junction
This would require a functioning brain for parking, and they usually lack in that department.
I never order anything from these food delivery services
Think about this next time your order anything from Wolt or similar services.
Everybody does it and while everybody is annoyed about it, nobody really cares, even the police. Perhaps we could make it legal when a car is parked that way you can key it or engrave helpful messages on it.
Because its parked on sidewalk, the parking monitor guy cannot fine them as they are not using a parking spot, in this situation you need to get police there to write the fine.
I am no way approving this but I often struggle to find a place to even drop off someone in the city center. I think we should also discuss the ridiculous situation with the parking spaces and fees. Also perhaps the need for installing 6-7 different parking apps to be able to park.
because carbrainers don’t know the rules and almost never get sanctioned for their offences
Are you refering to just Food Delivery Drivers or all Delivery Drivers in general?
Finnish law. If you are delivering or loading cargo and not causing too much inconvenience this is by law the right spot. If you park on the parking spot and delivering or loading cargo, you have to follow the parking rules. For example pay the parking fee…
I saw a Wolt parked sideways between two lanes in a no stop zone in Matinkylä recently and another one in the middle of the road in Jätkäsaari…
It is dubious whether this is unlawful or not. Offloading goods or personnel allows for temporary short-term stops. In this case, the cars could have just vacated the spots, for example, hard to tell. In general, for offloading or onboarding goods or passengers, temporary stops are allowed. However, here the driver should have used the parking spots, if they were available.
Perhaps because most of them got their licenses in places where asphatl is luxury, so rules are optional for them.
In the parking spot you are subject to parking enforcement, on the bike lane you can park freely for as long as you want
Before you come and cite road law to me, I’m talking about the reality in Helsinki, not the laws in the books
bro relax aint no one taking your number
Because they can and chance of getting a ticket is around 0%
What that is?
It’s allowed for delivery and cargo vehicles! I see too much hatred and racist remarks here because majority of delivery workers are mamulainen!
If I was looking for a parking space I’d be happy to see this.. the delivery driver is only taking a minute so they left the parking space which is used for longer term parking open. People get mad for no reason.
Depends on what theyre delivering.
Is that a head of a pallet jack abouve the cat? Does the car have a trailer attached to it, with a pallet jack on it?
If theyre delivering and installing household ewuipment such as a stove, a dishwasher, a fridge, so on. Then its reasonable maintenance, and they dont have to attempt to drag the pallet jack over the curb. And theyre not causing an impassable obstruction. Which would be legal.
But if i’m mistaken and its just food delivery, that is not maintenance or a reasonsble cause to park on the sidewalk. So… Illegal.
Slap them tight, slap them hard!
One the bright side at this guy isnt blocking a tram line.
I worked as a traffic warden for a city for a couple of years. Many times the explanation was “so that somebody who needs to spot more can take it” lol
Slash the tires.
Because they are from places where you can’t park I the middle of the street
3rd world mentality.
At least they’re parked and not swerving all over the road trying to read google maps, then brake suddenly and turn without signal. You know, like most of the time.
Because they come from cultures where nobody cares about these things. Ah, such enrichment to us…
