I haven't had to actually call bylaw yet, so I don't know how responsive they'd be.

I talked to the bylaw guy that came to ours. He said it's very hard to enforce the 1.5 m thing, but didn't expand much on it. If I was to read between the lines of his reply, it would be that the courts don't enforce it if it's challenged?
What is the law about parking on curves? Because what I thought was obvious/the law, perhaps isn't. Our home (no garage, only driveway, going to build a garage) is second from the corner which has a big curve. We get a lot of very large trucks that park on that curve, and between that and all the dog park people parking, it not only narrows the street but you absolutely can't see if anyone is coming around that corner. We back out very carefully but I can see it being an issue when the dingbat around the corner comes screaming around it like he usually does and someone and their kid is crossing the street. We've already managed to grab a half dozen dogs whose owners think the leash laws don't apply to them because they're in sight distance of the park, right before the dog is going to be hit by an oncoming vehicle.
