The French are fine, it’s the Parisians that are rude

we have issues in the UK with something like this. if you pay road tax you can park anywhere that isn’t parking controlled, including outside peoples houses (so long as you’re not restricting their access to the highway). some homeowners started putting traffic cones out to “reserve” the spot outside their homes (you cant legally do this btw).

People would just push them out of the way with their cars so homeowners started filling them with concrete.

Putting one of those in the road absolutely can and does get you in trouble
