Cars blocking sidewalk from front driveway? (houses, neighborhood, parking)

[unknown00]

For 1 of my houses, anytime you drive through their neighborhood, there ALWAYS are a couple houses per street where they have cars blocking the sidewalk. Note car is not parked on the sidewalk, but rear end blocks it. There is 1 house that has a huge truck and it completely blocks the sidewalk and rear end even goes to the street.

What can we do about this? Anyone/anywhere to report?

i think you can call the cops. I got a ticket for doing that when i was in Raleigh, NC. LOL.

If that's the worse complaint about the neighborhood, then you are well off.

Nothing you can do about it. People are allowed to drive vehicles bigger than yours. The fact that you're complaining about it is laughable .

What a rude post. To begin with, it's illegal. Secondly, I never knew doing illegal things is laughable. You might as well go rob a bank later and sell cocaine so everyone can just laugh

Blocking the sidewalk is illegal, even if it's in your own driveway. I've seen people get ticketed for it in my neighborhood, but it's a small enough offense that lots of people still do it and it's not something the police will usually bother coming out for.

Man. I swear there’s this department in the city you can call to report violations of the law.

I’ll keep thinking and see if I can remember it.

Then please call 911 next time so they can laugh at you also.

Call the city, they do no own the sidewalk and are not supposed to block it.

Comparing drug dealing and bank robbing to a parking violation is a bit of a stretch. And yes, people blocking the sidewalks is also a pet peeve of mine.
