If that was over here, it would already be bent around the pole with tire scuffs/car paint marks all over.... Subject to damage???, vandalism? Someone really planned that work out well!

Those white lines denote the working space.
The panel is fine, just needs bollards for protection. They may have been there prior to some jerk re-painting the parking lines incorrectly. Since when is it OK to park your car half out over the sidewalk?

They shouldn't have set that pole in quicksand.

That is a pretty large disconnect for a 400 amp service. Perhaps it's a three pole, 600v rated disco?
Given the need to place the meter at a readable level, I don't see what else might have been done. There is a real need for combo meter pan / disco out there!
I am actually surprised that the disco has not been locked in the "on" position; it is just so tempting to 'stumble' over that handle. Or- wait- IS that a padlock I see there?
Let's see...pole round, box square....just how secure is that thing mounted? How to seal the "mounting holes" in the back?
I agree about the bollards.
