For Mediterranean people:

"Francesca drives her car into the park with hazards lights on"

Does this violate the rule?

You have to respect the sanctity of park-anywhere button.

Honestly I'm observing a culture shift in the region. People don't use hazard lights that often anymore but instead they're loudly and expressively speaking with their phone. As in saying "I can do whatever I'm doing, because I'm too busy with an important conversation".

How else would you Uber Eats your picnic?

The game specifically instructs to disregard justification, overrides, carve-outs, etc...

It only asks two questions, strictly: is it a vehicle, and is it in the park.

So yes, francesca's car being a vehicle and in the park is a violation.

> It only asks two questions, strictly: is it a vehicle, and is it in the park.

no, it asks if the rule is violated in each situation

And what, pray tell, is the rule about?

> So yes, francesca's car being a vehicle and in the park is a violation.

I think you missed their joke :) the joke is that in europe (hence the Mediterranean) people often use "hazards on" as a justification for parking / stopping anywhere, especially where they aren't allowed to.

I didn't miss the joke, the joke missed the point.
