Give the tram operator a high-vis vest for the invulnerability buff, a set of orange retractable belt stanchions to create an impermeable barrier for innocent passersby, and enough TNT to clear the obstruction. May need to mend the tracks a little depending on placement constraints but it'll solve the problem at 69 hectometers per second.

Just fine those fuckers till the fuckers ain't fine.
How can they install a track and not bother to paint a parking line on the road.
The amount of drives I've seen who are completely incapable of parking within generously sized painted parking spaces is genuinely concerning. You can even see in the above photo that it's parked over a foot away from the curb so the driver really parked like shit and some lines on the road probably wouldn't make any difference
sabotage
the correct term here. If they don't understand parking, they should not have a driving license. If they do, it's intentional.
Riders should get out and kick in the windows, imo.
But seriously the city created this problem by not bumping out the curb to the area that shouldn't be parked in.
If you want to take things into your own hands: paint a no parking area on the ground there (diagonal lines in a box) and steal a no parking sign from elsewhere and plant it there if there's not already one so cops will ticket these people.
Sounds like a good place to work as a tow truck operator.
You tow them and make the fine properly punitive. Even then it will still happen - cars parked in clearways here get towed all the time.
If I ran a tire company there, I'd follow the tram for easy catches. It so they not have "violators will be towed at owner's expense" rules over there?
Whoa and that in Germany where people are pretty law-abiding.
Not when it comes to cars
