It's to avoid traffic jams. The noise isn't bad compared to being stuck behind one and being late for work or getting your kid to school.

Thank you!

Ok. Now if you just stated that before I may not have gotten so irrated with you Selective. Sorry if I went over-board including you in my rant. This goes beyond what you are saying and I do understand what you are saying. There are plenty of factors involved in this situation beyond this matter at hand. This person (I have caught on tape) has gone onto my property and placed garbage on my porch, has banged up my car many many times and other not so nice things in the past few years. Also plenty of other neighbors that park in this spot have gotten hit and I am not talking about little taps either.

I have tried reasoning with these people rationally and they are just not having it. I won't go into my personal feelings other than they are just not nice people to contend with. And I just want to know the laws for my own personal information.

jc73...all I was complaining about is that you were rude. I was just asking for help that is all. I do get upset because it is very frustrated in this whole situation.

Hey did you two numb-nuts read the whole thread or atleast all of my posts in this thread?

I am not dumb and I do use common sense. All I was asking for was advice and all you all care about is attacking someone for asking an honest to goodness simple question. Like I did state in above posts, I don't block anyones driveway...I was talking about an inch, a stupid inch on top of a line and a one time deal...and I only asked because this person is out to get anyone even parking feet away from her driveway. I am not some a-hole who blocks people from thier driveway access. I swear reading some of these negative posts make me laugh.

jc73...you like sarcasm right? I was just going with the flow that you started. Who said anything about out of state plates anyway?

Thanks again for those of you honestly trying to help a fellow JC neighbor!

Wow. jc73... You. Are. So. Cool. Now go blow. Your advice was so challenging. I don't mind going to...what are they called again? Oh yeah...the library, but I was hoping to try to find information online first...so thanks...appreciate the miraculous information.

I agree. It's like pulling teeth just to find what laws are! If I knew them life would be much easier.

If this driveway is illegal then maybe these people will stop thinking the spot (in the street) blocking the driveway is there private parking place and stop using my car as a bumper car!

Thank you for all of the information. Just to set the record straight I don't make a habit of blocking the way for anyone to go in or out of there driveways. I am concerned for this law because my car was barely on top of the line over an inch and a certain neighbor called up to try to ticket me. I would never intensionally cause a problem.

Also technically she can't go down her "driveway", there is no way to fit a vehicle down passed it's nose, so it only fits as to block the majority of the sidewalk (which is illegal). Basically she doesn't even use it, just for the street spot in the street in which I have never seen a permit displayed in her car which I was told by JCPD is needed.

Thanks guys!

How? Well all I am saying is that there is a line preventing anyone from parking there right? Well it doesn't matter anyway because since the hydrant is there you would have to park further away from that line anyway. Obviously anyone with brains knows you can't park in front of the hydrant, which is very close to this driveway. Also with this driveway you can only go down so far which means blocking the sidewalk. So it is messed up anyway. Just seems like a waste of paint. Just my opinion. No harm no foul.

Christine16 ~ Yikes! Sorry to hear you got towed. I am not saying I don't believe you, I just would like it for my own documentation. As for the parking authority they are the ones who I received the conflicting info from which is why I was wondering if it was up to the individual discretion of the person giving a ticket/towing the car. Thanks again though.

I am Googling like crazy and am comming up empty handed.

brewster ~ I know the city did the lines because I saw them do it, which still is iffy just for the fact that they put a driveway line and "no parking" infront of a supposed driveway when it is less than 10 feet from a firehydrant! Go figure. I do think people get away with too much, at least on the block where I live.

OK , but how do you know this for a fact? I appreciate your answer but I am truly looking for something more of a law or statute.

Does anyone know where I can find a law on how far over a driveway line I can park??? I have been told conflicting things.

A. You can park up to the beginning of your front tire.

and/or

B. Your whole vehicle must be behind the line.

I just want to know the correct way because sometimes it just isn't possible to fit my car into a spot unless I am slightly over the line and really don't want a ticket and sometimes there is just nowhere else to park.

I am sure you all know how parking is in JC! Thanks:)
