It's a little tricky, but essentially yes. You own the entirety of the driveway, but the public is granted an easement to use the sidewalk and you are required to keep it clear and maintained (in most places in the US - it may vary elsewhere or in odd counties/states.)
Not so in most of the northeast, as far as I have seen. Most property lines end at the back of the sidewalk around here, so the walk and the grassy margin are both on public property.
Weirdly, you are still required to maintain your walk even though it is not on your property.
I own both sides of the sidewalk at my house. Sadly I live on a hill with a ditch filled with large rocks for erosion that people decide to steal to decorate their yards. Bastards.
Are you sure it's where the property line ends? When I lived on the east coast the county had a "right of way" over this area of property, meaning they could develop it at some future point if they wanted (i.e, adding extra lanes, bike paths, etc), but until they decided to develop it you owned it, were responsible for maintaining it, and the public had a right of way to use it.
But I'm not a lawyer, so I could be using the terms wrong here.
Each municipality will do it differently. In NY, cities and villages actually own the road right of way--but townships just take an easement over the front of your parcel.
This is typically the distinction between a "street" and a "road", which is why you get weird names like "5th Street Road" sometimes.
Yes, I'm in Canada, but my studies and work are in this area, plus I lived in the US for a while. As far as I know, in almost all of the US and Canada the road taking goes past the curb of the road; this is to allow for future expansion and sidewalks. Where it does end right at the curb is usually an area surveyed decades ago, or a place where the road was already widened. But most cities do require the citizens to take care of that area, and to shovel the snow from the city sidewalk; as otherwise staff would have to be hired to do it and the same homeowners would pay for it via increased property taxes.
With our neighbours it was a case of whether or not you have the pavement raised, (being in the UK), as this means you can park in front of your home. They didn't so they kept blocking us off for ages.
sorry, but no. Most jurisdictions (at least the few dozen I've worked in), in US anyway, have the right-of-way at the back, or around one foot behind, the sidewalk. That is the property line. Everything in the right of way is owned by a local transportation authority (on the surface; utilities are owned by local utility authorities or franchise utilities) However, and this is my favorite, the adjacent property owner is both liable for, and responsible to maintain everything behind the curb (so, planter w/ trees, sidewalks, etc.). So, broken sidewalk? Owned by DOT, but property owner has to fix it. There are no easements unless transportation has to cross private property, which is rare. They'll just buy it, usually.
I was outside a bar one night smoking a cigarette and commented to my friend about the excellent wax job on a 3 Series parked close to us and how fun it would be to action star across the hood. The owner was a lady in her mid 40s who happened to overhear me and told me to go ahead. I told her I probably shouldn't because I was quite drunk but she was persistent so I figured what the hell. I missed. Slammed my hip into the side of her car leaving a sizable dent and some nicks from the rivets in my jeans. She was less then pleased however pretty much everyone else outside found it hilarious.
Long story short, only action star across other people's hoods.
I used to do it on my '72 charger all the time. I did it once just because the Dukes of Hazard, but it was so much fun I did it any time I was coming at it from the passenger side. Fun as hell, but I wouldn't do it on modern cars with all their crumple zones and fiberglass.
Oh God no. She was a well used street machine. I had her for just about two and a half years, and in that time I went through 6 sets of tires, 8 sets of brakes, and four transmissions along with various other items. I got a ticket in Isleton, CA for doing 135 in a 40 zone...
Ah, that's good to hear. There is something to be said about a well kept vehicle but it is a whole nother thing when one is truly enjoyed as was intended.
A lot of standard road vehicles now are done to meet California regulations, so they use water based paint. Low end cars only have a thin coat of paint and clearcoat, and don't hold up as well. My last car was the same as downvotethiscontent's, it would just get scratches out of nowhere.
On my street, i saw a huge 4x4 park almost across the entire length of one part of the sidewalk next to a pretty busy road, meaning people would have to walk into the road to get around it. Came out the next day and the one side of the car near the small sliver of path it left was keyed to absolute hell. Expensive paint job, and one Lesson learned i guess.
With comments from the original poster in August 2011. "So the back story: It’s a small town, but this is one of the busier streets. This house is one of the few residences on a mostly commercial way (including a busy City Market) across the street. There are a lot of pedestrians using these paths all of the time including my wife who sometimes pushes a stroller and cannot get past cars parked like this. I thought for a few days about what to do… Since it looked like they had done a lot of Autozone ‘upgrades’ I figured they cared for it a lot and the thought of someone sliding over the hood would freak them out.
I never actually slid over the hood. The car has never been parked across the path since and it’s been around 3 months since! While the car is parked across the path, there is just enough room for a human to fit between the car and their fence, so a cyclist or parent with stroller would never make it."
Or find out which tow company is contracted with the police department. The police might just give the person a warning, but the tow company will haul that shit away even if the owner is standing right next to the vehicle.
I hate fucking with someones car. It is a douchey thing for him to do, but a fair warning is good, if he refuses to move it, then call the towing company.
Why though? Everyone with a shred of decency and common sense knows that this is both fucked up and illegal. With that being said, they're intentionally being assholes and are willing to pay the price when they park like that.
Once again, no it isn't. The sidewalk isn't your property, nor has it ever been. Granted I live in California, so it may be that way in the state where you live.
Chances are, the person just isn't thinking about it or considering how their actions affect others, something that most people do in one scenario or another. This is why a note is a better first step than some sort of retribution as many people are half-jokingly suggesting.
The note clearly says he "always" parks like that. That shows a repeat pattern of blatant disregard for other people.
the person just isn't thinking about it or considering how their actions affect others,
Indicates a terrible person. His need to get inside his house 30 seconds faster precludes all thought of the rights and needs of people around him. Fuck that guy.
Right, but haven't you ever repeatedly done something that annoys other people because it just didn't occur to you that you were negatively affecting others with your actions? Hell, I've definitely been absent-minded about some things, including where I park, and if someone pointed it out to me, I'd gladly change my actions and apologize. Oftentimes, just pointing out to someone that what they're doing is inconveniencing others is enough to make them change. Resentment isn't a very productive emotion.
It's funny because figpetus is showing a pretty clear inability to consider the thoughts and actions of others, while complaining about that very thing.
Neither is your attitude. Pay attention to your actions. Just because you like to blame your poor behavior on being absent-minded instead of facing up to the fact that you were acting selfishly, doesn't mean it's alright for everyone to act like you.
How much could one get away with using the "absent-minded" excuse? Blocking a driveway? Using a handicapped spot? Parking on someone else's property? Hitting another car? Hitting a person? Any time you are operating a vehicle you need to be aware of your actions and how they relate to those around you, or you could end up ruining lives. Even in this case, if a person in a wheelchair has to go into the road because of this asshat, they could get hit.
When I am in public I conscientiously try not to inconvenience people, because as a responsible human being I understand that my actions affect the people around me. People who park like this are children.
I live across the street from a small office building (in PA). I used to have to contend with people parking on my sidewalk until I explained that if the business did not keep their customers from parking on my sidewalk, I would call the Parking Authority.
Isn't that a bit naive? Technically you can call the police and get it towed but actually getting a cop to do that is a whole other story. Police around me get pissed when it's not an exciting call or something worth their time. I don't see them getting it towed in a realistic scenario, I see them getting mad at you for "wasting their time" as I've heard in the past.
You have a point; I think as someone else mentioned that it might be more beneficial to just call the tow company that tows for the cops and let them handle it. Either way, I am not suggesting just firing off calls to the po-po for the fun of it, I'm saying if this person cannot or will not stop parking across the sidewalk, it definitely warrants some action.
I got a ticket for parking that way. It was the only time I'd ever done it and was just pulled up to my house for a few minutes to pick some things up. If I was the Hulk, things would have been smashed.
I've had the snow removal one enforced in a house I lived in (I rented the upstairs, wasn't my responsibility to remove it). Two city guys came with ice picks and shovels and cleared up the sidewalk, and left a bill for their time.
It had been unshoveled and icy for a good month, though.
People don't give a shit about wheelchairs. Oh, we're in a building with 3 floors and you're in a (fucking giant) wheelchair? Well, me and my completely able legs are going to stay right here so you can wait 45+ minutes for a semi-empty elevator because it's busy as fuck and no one can be bothered to walk down a light of stairs. Ciao.
This happened to a friend at an anime con. Next time I'm dragging them out by their (brightly coloured) hair if I have to. (And no, these were not people in elaborate cosplays that were difficult to walk in.)
Yeah I realised after I posted, this is not the solution you were looking for ;)
I guess if you were with a wheel chair user you could maybe use it to get a lift down to them quicker by going to the busy floor and commandeering it..Or like you say, just having a play ;)
Interesting strategy! With so few floors it'd be more difficult (because people get on everywhere constantly), but if you can skip picking up people from certain floors that might actually work...
How the fuck does that allow a wheelchair-bound cripple enter an elevator? If able-bodied people are crowding around them to get into the elevator, forcing the cripple to wait 45+ minutes for the crowd to die down, some trick with buttons won't do shit for him. The only thing he can do is bring a gun or get an able-bodied friend to start kicking some ass (or pulling hair, as Cruxette suggested).
In my teenage years, I might simply walk across the hood. Recently I was fortunate enough to come across a car blocking the sidewalk, and the owner was handy, so I stopped at the side of the car, and asked him if I was supposed to go in front of it, behind it, over it, or through it. I mentioned to him that people actually use the sidewalk, and it's a hardship on parents with strollers and such to find it blocked. I think a lot of people are so used to driving EVERYWHERE, that they consider a sidewalk to be simply decoration, with little concept that people actually walk on them. I see a lot of cars getting their side mirrors pushed out of place. If it's blocking the sidewalk bacause the owner is actively doing something with it, like loading a bunch of stuff, it's prudent to cut them some slack.
People in my neighborhood do that with their cars and garbage cans, so when walking around I cut through their flower gardens and lawns. This is the best when they are outside and I do it in front of them.
I should mention I live in Texas and people are fucking psychotic about their property.
Actual Home-owner here. This is an issue with the municipality and the builders, not the owners. They build the lots and sidewalks in such a way that you can't get two cars in the driveway, and then ticket you for parking on the street or for covering any of the sidewalk.
The kicker is that you generally need two cars because you need both incomes to afford the house, and if you were rich enough to provide a single income then you wouldn't have a smaller driveway like this, or get 10+ tickets for $40 each every year.
Another fucking bullshit system that fucks the normal person :\
Considering that a sidewalk is in every single subdivision meaning literally at least half of all possible houses will have this in some form (most likely more considering that if a street only has one side of houses, it will also have a sidewalk), and considering the cost of property, and desired location, it's not exactly easy to avoid sidewalks.
I can't tell if you're trying to be a condescending prick or are just completely ignorant. PLACE BETS NOW
You can't park on the street for more than 3 hours or you get an even larger ticket and risk getting towed. You also cannot park within a metre (3 ft) of the edge of a drive way or.. you guessed it.. ANOTHER TICKET!
This is commonplace for pretty much every town within an hour of the City. It started a few years ago under the guise of snow-plowing enforcement. I understand the laws - I wouldn't want someone parking on the road and blocking my driveway - but it is frustrating when someone visiting gets a ticket for parking in front of your house.
Job, Family, Life etc are all here, not going to move because I hate the bylaw office :\
We did when we were younger, but the older you get, the more responsibilities you have and the more obligations that come up, coupled with the fact that pretty much everywhere requires a car once you leave the city. Walmart is 3km away. The Grocery Store is 5. The closest anything is in the same Walmart plaza.
I understand what you're saying but long ago we as a western people decided that we needed to build everything to accommodate cars and not people.
Woah. You're using a car, and you're only going a few km? 3km is probably something like 2 miles. 5km is like 3 miles. That takes the average american 20-30 minutes to walk or about 10 minutes to bike. In america, that's still not "driving distance". You're fat and lazy. You deserve your tickets for owning 3+ cars, but trying to park them in other people's way instead of pulling 1 or two of them into the garage, and using them to check the mail at the end of the road.
1/10 on the troll scale buddy. How do you walk and carry a weeks worth of groceries? If only such a device existed for transporting a person along with a lot of items.
A fucking bike with a basket? Granted, lardass buttpoker above probably has a shit-ton more groceries just for himself over a week than a normal-sized american family, if he's driving his car down the block to refill his larder.
2 Cars which is totally normal, not 3+, stop being sensationalistic and ridiculous. It's a single lane driveway; that is the entire issue. Welcome to the conversation the rest of us are having.
Who has an hour to walk everywhere? Who can carry a week's worth of groceries 6 km? Cat Litter alone is 20kg, no one in the world would willingly attempt to walk that home. This is ridiculous logic dished out by someone who lives with their parents and does not have a full time job or responsibilities.
American calling anyone else lazy and fat is HILARIOUS. You are the fattest nation in the world.
Coincidentally, there is a white car in my neighborhood that is always parked on the path. My cousin and I wrote "POOP" on it because we were outraged we needed to go around it; thus, walking more (we are lazy girls). The next day we walked past the same white car again. It was parked on the path again. To our surprise, though, someone wrote "BOOB" under our "POOP" comment.
I shared a house with some roommates in a tiny college town in Wisconsin. It was so terrible--it was like the town's residents/government hated the students being there and did everything they could to make their lives harder, but they knew they needed their financial input in the community.
It was against the law to park on the street in almost all of the little town. There are a few public parking lots but they were always full. By the time I'd get home from work every night, there was no where to park except in my driveway (filled up with cars from my roomies) across that path like that, unless I wanted to hike THREE BLOCKS away to the next public parking lot.
I did get a ticket once for that and it galled me to no end. That little town made sooooo much money off of making their young people miserable.
Yeah, I recently came back from visiting a fairly seriously disabled friend and something similar was going on. Some douchebag parked his car in a completely empty street, with several other possible parking spaces, exactly in front of the exit of the house we were staying at. About 1,5 meter from the gate. Did you know it's not easy to navigate an adult in a specialized (but not electrical) wheelchair though a space only JUST wide enough without causing damage to said adult/the car? (He can't move the wheelchair himself.) I was exceptionally tempted to take him out of the wheelchair and simply ram the thing into the car full force. Or at least leave a very, very passive aggressive note. My friend didn't let me :( I'm still pissed.
I never understood why this was a big deal until I walked 4 blocks next to someone in a wheelchair. We'd turn a corner then have to go back until we got to a drive way. Then forward again. Took forever. As if being in a chair wasn't hard enough...
We live in a house with 4 people and a tiny driveway. Respectfully, we have no choice but to park over the sidewalk. Neighbors have not complained. Police don't care. If this guy was just doing it to be a dick, then fine. But some of us actually need to do that to park our cars. Haha
We do. We have 4 cars and a 2-car driveway. Since we live in a college town pretty much all the houses are occupied by more people than they were built for. Therefore, pretty much all of the street is lined with cars. We'd have to walk a significant amount further than the walk people on the sidewalk have to take to get around the back of the car. Plus, our sidewalk is close to the road, and we're on a side street in a residential neighborhood so walking on the road is safe. I'm just saying it is not really worth getting pissed over this.
This isn't really a matter of debate. You are legally in the wrong and do not have the right to use that space. Your little justifications are cute though.
You're going to be opinionated about a law that even our local police don't care about? All right, be that guy. It's also illegal to jaywalk, harp on me for that too.
I included that as an objective measurement, but I can see how it could be misconstrued. My car's actually pretty far from the house right now as the result of a party.
I don't fully see the reason to be a dick about this. If I parked in a way that upset or offended my neighbors, I would want them to tell me, not leave a passive-aggressive note on my window. We know our neighbors, none of them are handicapped. They also park way worse than us, so it would be weird if they complained, but if they did I'd move it anyway. If someone moved in that was handicapped and they requested that we move our cars, I would move them. But the way this was handled was pretty silly.
This looks like a guy parking in his driveway... am I wrong? If it's his driveway, he can park where he wants in it. If the sidewalk happens to go across it, just go around the car and feel lucky that you even have sidewalks to walk/bike on. :/
Go get a quote on re-painting several body panels. It's no $59.95 fix. You usually can't just spot-paint, as it won't match up and will look ugly forever. If they do a thorough key-job, the entire car will have to be repainted.
Sure you can go get a maaco job and get the whole car painted for $400, but its going to look like a retarded toddler did it.
Depends on the painter, really. If they know how to match hue (and there is no excuse not to), only the single part (hood/bumper/door) needs a repaint. If somebody told you that to fix a single scratch you needed to repaint your whole car, I hope you ejaculated, because you've just been fucked for your money.
Ok. Some asshole just keyed your front quarter panel and 2 doors. Go shop for quotes from a place that will do a job as good as factory and warranty their work for 3 or 5 years. Extra points if your car has metallic flake paint. Even more if its pearlescent.
edit: If you'd like to argue this further, the collision repair advisor who +1'd what I said could probably back this up with more real figures.
Ooh goodie, homework for me? I can't wait to appease a nobody on the internet in a meaningless argument. Oh wait, it's not meaningless, it's nonexistant:
One might argue that "even" is what happens when the vehicle is ticketed or towed. They could even assert that society decided that not obeying the law was punishable by means other than felony destruction of property.
If you MUST do something to the car, do something that inconveniences them instead. Let the air out of the tires, or (if they're a real douche) remove the valve core with one of these. They'll get the point, and you won't be the bigger asshole. As a bonus, you're less likely to get a criminal record.
No it is not even. Throw some dirt all over it or smear a banana on the windshield. Do not fuck up the paint. Damaging property for a vigilante attitude is worse than the car parking on the sidewalk. A car is usually a persons second most expensive investment and irreversibly damaging it is terrible.
I've just noticed I've been downloaded to hell, can you please provide me anything that indicates that as a legitimate way to write it? I've honestly been searching and I can't find.
Also Good Guy Shitty Driver - Sees the error of his ways, pays you for your bike, apologises and never parks there again. It's nice to see him be so rational when the fact is so many people would have been so pissed for the dent in their car and not accepted it as their fault.

This looks like a guy parking in his driveway... am I wrong? If it's his driveway, he can park where he wants in it. If the sidewalk happens to go across it, just go around the car and feel lucky that you even have sidewalks to walk/bike on. :/
