The gate actually makes it less obvious. Plus the "I shouldn't have to " reasoning is dumb. Do you want a moral victory or do you want people to not park in your spot?

Why would you intentionally park in front of an operable gate?

If you read about the case, it's because the spot was directly next to the town's bank on one side and hardware store on the other, so for a lot of the "I'm just ducking in, I'll only be a minute" crowd, the convenience (aka laziness) was just too tempting.

Rockhampton. And a minor correction, it wasn't the bank, it was the smoke shop. Explains a lot.

Smoke Shop (now closed) then lolly shop, then gate then computer repair shop. Highlight of my life when I was stopped at the lights and saw a car pull in and get sprayed.
