Painting Crosswalks

I love this. They just finished repaving a bunch of streets in my neighborhood (Monteverde, Rome, Italy) and were quick to repaint the pedestrian crosswalks. But by the time the asphalt was dry there were already cars parked everywhere, even on the sidewalks at most street corners. Anyone who has taken driver's ed. here knows the law clearly states that you can't park within 5 meters of an intersection. So, did they tow them away so as to finish the paint job? No, they just painted up to the edge of the parked car and stopped. Now Monteverde is filled with hilarious half-painted crosswalks.
