Is this a parking violation?

KentT · Dec 20, 2005

My interpretation is the same as Highbeam's -- i.e. that the sign shown only applies to the right side of the road. Are there signs on the other side pointing the other way?

I think one sign in the "dead end" would have indicated that entire area was No Parking, but typically on roadsides the sign applies only to the right shoulder, unless it specifies "No Parking Either Side" or there are signs posted on both sides.

Oh, I forgot to mention that they've already stolen two of the signs that were installed. They simply rip them out, toss them into lake??

Then do as they please. Unfortunately, when the authorities come out, they (understandably) adopt the attitude of, "Well, if there is no sign there, I can't (or don't feel comfortable) giving them a ticket"

So the riffraff know they can just knock them all down & carry on.

becomes a very unfortunate cycle.

next time try calling the fire dept first: if you're home is beyond this point then they are effectivly blocking the fire access to you're home which has more of a higher pwers involved... also don't call them saying you have a fire more state that there is a blockage issue which constantly arrizes and can/could cause an issue. there would be no way of getting these people back to move the cars quickly so have a no parking sign posted with the fire lane thing added then there will be federal problems too /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Coon hunters that are the friends of the officer are NEVER in violation and NEVER will be. There are to many variables and they will spilt hairs to keep their buddies out of trouble. As an example, it is not clear as to where the no parking zone ends, how far past the sign is the no parking zone? 10' 20' 50'

Some things don't seem fair. It's not what you know, it's WHO you know. That says it all.

I think I would only deal with the issue when and if it really blocks your driveway. Otherwise you'll be fighting a battle you can't win and those battles are no fun.
