Police were left astonished after spotting a car parked in an 'inventive' way.
Officers patrolling in Salford came across the black Ford car wedged in between a van and another car, pointing bonnet-first over the pavement.
Pictures show the car parked all the way across the pavement, blocking any pedestrians from passing and almost touching a fence bordering the path.
Traffic officers joked that the driver 'no doubt thought they were being inventive' - but issued a traffic offence report to the person as the car stopped people using the pavement.
Greater Manchester Traffic Police tweeted: "Traffic PCSO came across this parked over a pavement in Salford.
"No doubt the driver believed they were being inventive.
"Pedestrians forced to use the road. Traffic offence report issued."
