Glad that I don't have to park like this every day.

Didn't know that this was legal there.

Not!

That's fine, though, there should be a curb there to stop the wheels.

We do that all the time without a special camera at dumpsites like this.

A small metal ridge embedded in the asphalt is the last line of defense keeping the tour buses from falling down a very steep embankment.

I think it would need to be more though ... A nice little jolt that you're hitting the curb would make me feel better

EDIT: Just saw the video ... the "metal ridge" is bigger than I thought.

This.

Other than the lack of a curb, I don't see any problem here.

There's either a curb or some other stop because you can see the busses "jolt" when they stop.

Hell, we used to park all kinds of rolling stock up against a curb or berm working in the mines. No big deal as long as it's done right.

Wouldn't concrete blocks near the edge be cheaper than installing video camera systems?

We're talking about Japan here... Video cameras are what they do.
