Main Street Parking spaces are enormous, designed for a 1969 Cadillac or a Ford F-450 Truck.
However; some people just need a little bit more room.

My husband calls it “interpretive” parking!
Getting in between the lines is a problem for me, cannot see over the hood of my car so I most of the time have to get back in the car and try again…
In front of my gallery, which is just down the street from where you took your photos, the spaces are a whopping 25 feet long. The City of Cambridge, for example, requires parallel parking spaces to be 18 feet long. Here on Main Street, if someone parks with their rear bumper near the line, and the car in the space in front of them puts their front bumper near the line – there is enough room for another car in the middle. The middle car is not at a meter, and all be ticketed. I go out a lot to explain this to people. The MUTCD (Manual on Uniform traffic control devices) which is the national wide standard states the a parking space minimum is 8′x22′ and 8′x20′ for compact vehicles except on the ends. The end spaces in a line may be as short as 18′.
I always try to reserve judgement unless I see the bad parking take place. You never know if there was a previous bad parker that forced a new person to park in a bad way.
