Parking Law help?

Question

ok, there is a corner by my house which is an extremely tight turn. it also has ramp from the street to the sidewalk. someone always parks really close to the corner and directly in front of the ramp. is there a law that states you cant park within 15 feet of a corner? im pretty sure there is a law for parking in front of the ramp. in your responses please link to a web site that you found your information or provide the law information. thanks

Answer 1

Local parking ordinances vary, so there may not be a law about parking that close to a corner.  However, blocking exits and blocking driveways is usually illegal, yes.  Here is an example:

Check with your city government or police to be sure.  This is something decided and enforced on a city or county-wide basis and will not be the same everywhere.

Answer 2

There's no such law that says you can't park 15 ft of a corner. However, blocking the ramp may be grounds for a ticket, as it's technically parking in the crosswalk, which is illegal. However, your local police / parking / traffic will be able to answer that better.

Answer 3

Call the local police dept they can help better.  What you want to know are about City Ordinances.  All depends on your local laws.  I would assume is a Handicap Access Ramp to the sidewalk in case a handicapped individual wants to cross the street.

Sorry but I did not find anything so you will have to either talk with your police department or someone from the city.

If you live where you are managed by a (HOA) then you could call them and see if they have anything in their by-laws.
