> As is parking in a private driveway in a manner than blocks a public sidewalk. Laws like this becomes really interesting when you build neighborhoods in certain ways. In my neighborhood, the houses were built very far forward on the lots and thus very close to the sidewalks. Looking out my front window right now, I'd estimate it's less than 10 feet away. This has the effect of making it impossible to park in your driveway without blocking the sidewalk unless you have a very small car - like a Smart car or something. Add to this that the HOA has a rule against long-term overnight parking on the street (which they define as more than five consecutive days). Which means that you either have to put every car in a garage, or break some law or rule. Fortunately, most of these rules are unenforced. To my knowledge the HOA has only ever asked one person to move a vehicle off the road, and that one was parked there for months, obviously disabled and becoming an eyesore. Every now and then when I'm working in the garage I need to leave my truck parked out overnight. I always feel bad blocking the sidewalk, but then I look around and see probably half the neighborhood doing it too.
