In some French villages parking spaces literally straddle the curb so that half the space is on the sidewalk. Granted this road is much bigger.
Either way I wouldn’t assume malice here without more knowledge. Probably just people walking in the road - maybe due something obstructing the sidewalk.
Maybe just being parked there, the lights are still on. What an asshole, in that case, not leaving room for the pedestrians to walk safely :)
