They are not defending driving across the pavement, they are noting that certain types of pavement obstruction are positioned to disallow any overhang across pavement areas for certain types of vehicle when their wheels are only on the road. Which is a function of narrow roads and modern vehicles. Which can be exacerbated by the imposition of build outs and central bollard islands as additions to existing narrow roads. 

Savings lives, see alex_b's informed and personal post above trump's a little bit of inconvenience.

Penguin, do be reasonable, anything that makes driving a car really difficult - or even hazardous, has the thumbs up, from some. After all, people need to make 'smarter' choices.

It’s only “hazardous” if you chose to drive in such a way that your vehicle crosses the pavement and risks hitting a pedestrian. If the junction is too tight for a vehicle to be able to safely do so the driver should take an alternative route - no different to avoiding a low or narrow bridge.

Also the council had already removed parking opposite the junction to give vehicles more space to manoeuvre, it used to be much worse with coaches regularly getting stuck. .
