What do you think? Illegal? Legal but inadvisable? Perfectly fine?

This is a pet peeve of mine. Parking in the cart lane creates a safety hazard, especially when the trailer sticks a foot or two out into the auto lane. It , in effect, can narrow 2 car lanes and 2 cart lanes into 1 cart lane and 1 1/2 car lanes, forcing more vehicles into proximity with each other,= formula for accidents.
Every one of those homes has a FRONT yard on a residential street where the landscapers can park. The only reason they park in the cart lane is LAZINESS, there is no NEED for them to park closer to the backyard. This is really no different than parking in the fire lane at a strip mall because it is more "convenient"
