How do you define your driveway?
We haven't paved our driveway this year, we have a few neighbours that did and one cracked. I am waiting till the spring that will be about 1.5 years for the ground to settle. I just have crushed gravel and crushed rock down for now, but people are constantly parking in front of my 'driveway'.
So that made me ask, what actually defines a driveway? My cities bylaw basically says it should be enough space to park as many cars as your garage can hold. So basically, two car stalls wide.
There is a space between my house and my neighbours where people constantly park blocking part of my driveway. It's obvious they park far back from my neighbours paved driveway as they don't want to block it, but then are oblivious to the fact that they are now half way through an imaginary line drawn from my first garage door to the street.
I am not mad they are parking in front of my house, go ahead. What I am mad about is backing my car straight out of my garage and if I wanted to being able to smash their passenger door. We aren't even talking bumper here, like half the cars length is blocking my way.
I could call the city, get them ticketed, yadda yadda, but I don't want to go that route. I've chatted with a few of the neighbours and they don't think it is any of their friends, some even have the same problem, but said they will make sure to tell their guests where to park.
Then I thought well is there a way I could define the driveway? Put up a little mini fence or some ugly pylons or something? It is just temporary so I really don't care how it looks. Anyone had a similar situation they solved? Again, I don't care about people parking in front of my house, they can even park within 3 feet of the edge of the garage I just want to figure out a clear way of showing them this is a driveway because apparently the line of crushed rock isn't enough.
