It is purely dependent on the jurisdiction.

In some cities, this practice is illegal, while in others, it's actually encouraged. This issue is usually left for the city governments to decide on. You should refer to the city code about issues regarding this.

It is illegal, but many motorists seem to think it is alright to park half on the pavement (even fully on the pavement at times), even early on a Sunday morning outside our village shop, with no other cars with in sight! I've even seen a police car parked half on the pavement while the officer inside seems to be doing paper work. It would be very unusual if a passing police car should stop to remove an obstructing vehicle in our Lancashire village.

No, not unless it marks a 'no parking' zone or is the demarcation line for a bike or pedestrian path.

You can't park on any roadway or on any lines on any roads. The car needs to be completely off the road, with as much space as possible between the car and edge of the roadway.
