Driving me insane how people with SUV's, minivans, and full sized sedans partially block my driveway and act like its ok.

Good thing 311 works and I was able to get it ticketed/towed within the hour

What else do you suggest to stop this problem?

As long as the area is clearly marked with no parking signs, I'm not sure what more you can really do. Maybe you can paint the curb in front of the driveway, but I'm not sure if that requires any form of permit or something.

It'd be nice if you could paint lines at the exact boundaries of the driveway and toss up a sign saying "Your car will be towed if you are an inch over these lines!"

I think it is so rude and inconsiderate when people do that. You would think they would learn from watching someone else get ticketed and towed.
I am not sure if you are allowed to paint the curb. Maybe 311 would know.

Every time they block your driveway continue to have them ticketed and towed.

The people who are blocking you do they live in the area or work in the area?

edrican lol thats a good one

Does your driveway have a ramp?

I ask because alot of people paint a curb, and act like they are entitled to have that as a point of exit, when in fact it is a legal parking spot.

I do not to block peoples driveways with ramps, and try my best to leave as much room for the makeshift driveway people, but sometimes you got to park where u can.
