They're not really obstructing anything- you can walk around them, you just have to walk in the street or on the tracks for a minute. But they are obtrusive- they're right in your tracks, you need to pause to think about what to do, whereas you should be able to just walk down the street.
But, anyway, we can definitely agree that there are plenty of problems in the photo.
They are 100% blocking the north (west) access to the platform. You can walk around...in a garden, and you cannot walk in the tracks (aside from being illegal, there's a >1.5 foot climb to get back on the platform). If you are in a wheelchair, walker, or stroller, or even a cane, you cannot use the station from the south in this situation at all. That's clearly obstructing by any definition.
