Dropped kerbs, also known as dropped crossings are areas of the pavement which are lowered and strengthend in order to let vehicles access driveways and make it easier for disabled people to step up kerbs.
Obviously, it is inconsiderate to block one but is it illegal? My daughter's flat is accessed by one such crossing but it is almost always blocked by vehicles and I can't get access in my wheelchair. The police refuse to do anything about it saying that another person in the flats has given someone permission to park there!!! can that possilby be correct?

it is a state law you would have to ask your local authorities, if it at a street corner it is a wheelchair ramp and that is not legal in most, if not all states.

Check your local traffic laws. If it is right at an intersection, a lot of cities prohibit any parking at all within a certain distance from an intersection. But if is away from an intersectiln, say up in front of an apartment complex, it may be illegal or it may not be.

Yes it is. Whether the Police take action is another matter. We have cars and lorries parked fully on the pavement, obstructing corners, school run parents blocking the road. parking over driveways, etc on our cul-de-sac and the Police just turn a blind eye. You phone them up and get told to contact the council. You phone the council and get told to contact the Police. Just a vicious circle really.

If it's not on public property teh police can't enforce it, but the ADA can (Americans With Disability Act), there are lawyers circling like buzzards waiting to represent you in a case like this, just go see or contact by confirmed delivery registered mail who's supposedly in charge (not the super or tenant association, the actual owners of the property who you would sue in court). TAKE PICTURES TO PROVE YOUR POINT or they will deny it.
