Parking in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

It's funny that sidewalk parking is a complete no-no in North America but is more often than not the actual right way to park in many parts of Europe. Sidewalks are bigger though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression the "sidewalk parking" was basically partially up the curb, but not blocking the sidewalk any more than parking on the whatever they call the utility portion buffer between the sidewalk and the road would be here?

Also, here it's a big no-no.  I hope it stays that way.  Apparently it's a big problem in parts of NYC, which is what tolerating even occasional sidewalk parking will beget.
