There’s a parking space along Liuhe六合 Road in Kaohsiung that’s clearly marked for parking, but you can’t park there. That’s because half of it is taken up by three transformer boxes, leaving drivers rolling their eyes at the poor design. The city said it used to be a whole parking space, but Taipower moved the transformers there. So who’s responsible for removing the lines? It’s unclear, as everyone seems to be passing the buck.

Looking for parking often results in a massive headache. But have you ever seen a space like this? There are three transformers right in the middle, leaving drivers dumbfounded.
Member of public
It’s pretty ridiculous. It’s a parking space, but a car couldn’t fit there.
Member of public
It’s super inappropriate and a little absurd. You search for a spot for ages, finally find one, and you can’t even park there. Then you have to start looking all over again.
This spot is on Liuhe Road in Kaohsiung. Out of a whole row of parking, this one stands out. If a regular vehicle tried to park here, half of it would stick out into the street. So would the city still collect parking fees? And who signed off on this “creative” parking space?
Voice of Wang Chih-kang
Kaohsiung Transportation Bureau official
Upon investigation, we found that Taipower moved the boxes there this week. Taipower had applied to remove the markings for the parking space before work began, but they failed to erase them.
The Transportation Bureau said that Taipower was responsible for removing the lines, but Taipower said they moved the boxes at the Bureau of Cultural Affairs’ request, and removing the lines isn’t their responsibility.
Voice of Sun Chi-tsu
Taipower regional official
Since the site is only temporary, at the time of inspection, the Cultural Affairs Bureau hadn’t completed removal procedures with the Transportation Bureau.
This blocked parking space has drivers rolling their eyes. But even more surprising is how the simple task of erasing a few parking lines has devolved into a classic case of bureaucratic finger-pointing.
