Tinkerer, I'm curious if you have alley access or not. If you do then a front drive parking area might not be all that legal. Just because someone parks on thier front yard, doesn't make it a legal driveway. If you are going to push the issue for a driveway and have it posted, just like someone above posted, you'll be getting tagged and towed as well if you park there.

We have back alley access and many people in my neighborhood have driveways. It must depend on your neighborhood's zoning? I'd give the city a call, make sure you're legal and then call the police to tow them. This way you have a record of offenses when you get the city to put up the sign for you - I'm pretty sure you can get fined for putting up traffic signs yourself, even on your own property. If you were posting up a handmade sign that asked people not to park in the driveway, I'm sure that'd be different but it sounds like you want something more official looking. That way keeps your nose clean in any 'uncertainties'

And Pine trees falling on the vehicle will have to come of your house insurance - just happened to someone I work with.

I had a neighbor that liked to block the front of my driveway......... Then I bought my son some hard street hockey pucks for practicing on the street, a couple of dents later and he has not left his rice rocket there again ;D
