and I just had to cross the road to read a notice on someone's gate. Homemade notice in cellophane reading "Please do not park outside this house unless you are visiting" Do you think they have bought the bit of road as well as there house lol? |

May be not, but it can be irritating if people park there then say commute from the station. |

We live on a road with houses one side and the beach on the other. It is very difficult to drive in/out if people park opposite the gate and as for the few who park outside the gate, blocking the entrance completely ........ :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| |

We used to live in a village with a river and beach going through it, and sometimes in the summer you couldn't move for people, and at times we were unable to get the car out for cars parked over our entrance. OH used to put bollards out, and the cheeky b's would even move them in order to park. Nightmare, we were glad to move!!! |

People here do put out objects to block out a parking space in front of their house .................. I've seen very large paint cans, red traffic cones, small garbage cans, etc. |

Irritating as it can be, if a car is taxed, insured etc., and parked legally, there is nothing you can do about it. I would not have bought this house without off-street parking, as we are so near to a station giving direct access to the City. |

Well I live no where near a station or school. I just live on a housing estate where we all have our own drives, and all drives here take at least 2 cars. There was a car parked outside the house and wondered if someone has done it deliberately. |

Highway Code rule 242, page 82, and Road Traffic Act 1988. Section 86 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 quotes an exception. |

In WA it is an offence to park in such a manner as to cause an obstruction to a person's access to their driveway. Also, on all roads, you can only park in the direction of the traffic flow |

in UK as well, just looked it up in the Highway Code! - Rule 239 - but I've never seen it enforced and frequently see it done (tough it does mean in any traffic you have to drive across anything coming the other way) I don't think it is generally known. |
