I have noticed this issue particularly in my neighbourhood, even though they have painted the center line and lines down each side of the street demarcating the on-street parking.

PARKED CARS

Most of the houses use their driveways and garages to park, so there is not many cars parked along the street, however the egregiousness is that people driving along the road will drive in the parking lane and will then just stop and wait there as you're backing up into the parking lane to get out.

I guess it doesn't bother me too much if people want to waste their time by driving in the parking lane and having to come to a stop whenever a car backs out of their driveways, but it seems kind of avoidable.
