It’s the same colour, and it doesn’t appear raised in the image.
Op needs to take a better picture showing the issue, because this image makes it look like a perking space. Not helping make their case.
All the other spots have the same different curb material leading into the spot, they did a really good job blending that sidewalk in. Asking for this to happen.
The raised curb just looks like a pained line denoting the stall from here. It could be a handicapped stall.
You said there’s yellow, there is absolutely none in the image, can you provide an image so we can see what you think you see? Funny you resort to insults instead of providing an image to show what you’re taking about.
The materials for the sidewalk and road are identical, not even close to yellow, I provided an image as proof and to show you what I see.
It is a very slightly different color, but definitely hard to make out in the original image due to the line of shade coinciding with the colour shift + being from further away. Definitely wouldn’t blame a small-screen user for not noticing a difference between those two.
The fact that the sidewalk’s pavers are rotated 90° compared to those in both the parking lot aisle and (more importantly) the parking space to the right is also enough to prove the designer’s intent, even disregarding the color difference entirely.
I totally agree that said designer shouldn’t have let aesthetics come at the cost of accessibility, though.
@plantfanatic@sh.itjust.works… I hate to say it, but he’s not wrong to question your screen and/or vision. The difference in color is subtle, but it’s there. I wouldn’t necessarily call it “yellow;” more like a beige/tan for the walkway vs. gray for the parking lot. At any rate, it’s enough to be clear (to me, at least) that it was intended to be a contrasting color.
Here’s what I ended up with when I used GIMP’s eyedropper tool on the two areas:
It turns out it’s in Poland, where I’m from. I’m used to seeing these types of sidewalks and know that they are yellow when new. This one is just faded.
Good lord, they are a poster on Lemmy not a journalist. Between the photo and their words, I believe them and see the wrong. It isn’t some takedown piece in a major newspaper.
It’s not obvious, if it was, the person probably would not have parked there…. Now would they….?
You’re giving them the benefit of the doubt. Others are arguing they knew and didn’t care. Either way it’s wrong. Could it have been designed better? Yes. Would that stop people who still don’t care? No.
Yes, why shouldn’t I? It’s a terribly designed parking lot. And its also fun to have a discussion, except when people sling insults at someone else. The discussion can help people learn, or see stuff they didn’t before. This parking lot fails basically every current “good design practice”.
If you’re gonna make your point that “it’s obvious”, well than it better be actually obvious, like with a sign or differing colors and material. Of course people can see how it’s not a spot, but it’s also just as easily seen as one.
I get this is fuckcars, but atleast don’t completely have your head in the sand that the cars and drivers are solely to blame. Sometimes the designers just fucking suck, like in OPs picture.
It’s a different colour and raised. It’s clearly not a parking spot.
Edit. Proof below if anybody else doubts that this is clearly a sidewalk.

It’s yellow. And You can see the edge bricks. And You can clearly see it’s raised on the next row.
Where’s the yellow?
The edge bricks are also the exact same as in front the stalls, those don’t indicate anything.
You’re helping their case, not countering it.
You can see from the left part where it meets the road it’s the exact same color of the road.
The sidewalk and road are identical material and colour. Where are you seeing yellow?
Are You trolling or do You have a bad phone screen or are You colour blind?

This is a different color. It’s a similar brick but rotated 90° from the road and clearly not the same color…
The other photo also had different color brick for the walk path compared to the road. You may genuinely be color blind, friend.
It is a very slightly different color, but definitely hard to make out in the original image due to the line of shade coinciding with the colour shift + being from further away. Definitely wouldn’t blame a small-screen user for not noticing a difference between those two.
That’s not yellow for one thing…. The road already has multiple shades already. You expect someone to think a fourth shade should be different?
That’s not a different colour, just a different shade.
They say the colour difference makes it obvious, how can it when there’s already multiple in roadway? It could if you ignore the other details around.
You strike me as the kinda guy who can’t admit when they’re wrong and just move on. I’m gonna block you because your not worth the time.

See a doctor and check for colour blindness. Seriously. It’s obviously a different colour.
Bro it is like not even close to being the same color. One is grey and the other is yellow, very very clearly even on my 5 inch phone screen

Here You go. You can see the curbs, side walks and colours. It’s faded, because it’s old, but it’s visible.
@hOrni@lemmy.world, be nicer. This is a warning.

That’s a similar brick, but it’s clearly a different color and elevated. You might genuinely be color blind if you can’t see it.
I have normal color vision and I asked think they are pretty similar, but distinct colors. Maybe it’s more clearly different in person.

Dear internet person, I think you may suffer from some form of color blindness.
Paste the exact image you shared into MS paint or any image editor and extract color codes from the two parts.
Sidewalk: yellow
Parking spot: grey
Above commentor: “they’re the same colour!”
Good lord, they are a poster on Lemmy not a journalist. Between the photo and their words, I believe them and see the wrong. It isn’t some takedown piece in a major newspaper.
So people can’t discuss how this mistake could easily be made…?
Does that upset you for people to say the parking lot is actually designed terribly?
By mistake, do you mean the photo taken? I’m referring to how you said the poster should take better pictures to prove an already very obvious point.
The only indicater, the raised curb, is hidden behind the vehicle, everything else they show looks exactly like the other stalls.
It’s not obvious, if it was, the person probably would not have parked there…. Now would they….?
And where I live sometimes handicapped stalls are separated by a curb, so… not obvious the curb even means anything anyways.
So yes, a better picture to show the actual issue would be nice.
You’re giving them the benefit of the doubt. Others are arguing they knew and didn’t care. Either way it’s wrong. Could it have been designed better? Yes. Would that stop people who still don’t care? No.

I get this is fuckcars, but atleast don’t completely have your head in the sand that the cars and drivers are solely to blame. Sometimes the designers just fucking suck, like in OPs picture.
Even if it were obvious to the driver, cars block sidewalks all the time. This is a common problem in all situations.
