Nah, was also my reaction when I saw the picture. I am not used to this.
In Germany one has to park in “driving direction”, which usually mans only on the right side (one-way streets coming to mind as an example to be allowed to park on the left side, too)
In the UK and Ireland the law is simply that you should be parked within the bay and off the kerb. You can cross a lane to park, facing the traffic as long as you wait until it’s clear and safe to do so

Same in Australia, if you park against the flow of traffic you get a large fine.
The UK is odd with this, like you said it’s a large fine here in Australia.
