my parking rights outside my home?

Answer 1

YOU have NO rights as to parking on the road.
it's just First come first serve.

Answer 2

You have no right to the road space outside your home.
We all pay road tax which allows us all the use of the road so anyone has the right to park outside your home.
My neighbour demands that he be allowed to park directly outside his flat & gets annoyed if anyone else does. What he fails to realise is that, since we live in flats, the space is directly outside several tenants homes also.
He brings a van home from work also & is out 10 times any evening moving it closer to his house every time someone moves their vehicle even though he can see the van from his window without moving it. Sad little man!

Answer 3

Depends on whether you have an allocated parking space included in your deed or not, or if you are trying to park on your own land. If you are just trying to park on the public highway outside your house, you have no special rights over anyone else.

Unless you are and can prove you are disabled, and can persuade the council to put a disabled bay right outside your home. Then only people with a disabled badge in their car could park there.

Answer 4

Most property lines end by the sidewalk. So while it may be in front of your home it is city property. It is just to call (parking control) them and apply for an occasional permit. We are supplied with a 1 800 number to record the plate number of the car that will be parked in that area. We are allowed 30 nights a year.

Answer 5

The area where i live is the same. I live in a house in a kind of cul de sac, outside each house there are marked parking spaces and i get very annoyed when people that dont even live here park outside my house, while they are visitin. There are loads of parking spaces on the outside of the cul de sac. What i do now is i leave cones in my parkin space or i leave my black dust bin there. Thats all we can do, we should have parkin rights i agree. I am sick of coming home from work and seein someone has parked in my parking space , so that means i have to park on the outside road, why should i, i live there.

Answer 6

You may park legally on the highway outside your home, but so can anyone else. If you bought the house and garden you did not buy the right to park outside it.

Answer 7

it is first come first serve on the street. Most cities have a code enforcement office that will come out if cars are just parked there for a long time and dont move, also to ticket if the registration is expired...so if that is the case, call and have the problem vehicles removed

Answer 8

Most of your responders are on the right track, but also consider this...in most jurisdictions, you are required to maintain insurance on a vehicle so long as it has a valid license plate and you are required to have a license plate for any vehicle visible to the general public. that means that not only are you pretty limited in your rights to parking in front of your property, though you are limited only by space on the actual property, you also have a legal obligation to have the vehicle registered and plated, and insured with PROOF of insurance if that vehicle (including boats, motorcycles, etc) is visible from the street. Therefore, the only way to get away with not incurring the expense of titling, plating, and insuring a vehicle on your own property is if you put a canvas over it or have a garage. Hows that for some BS?

Answer 9

You have the right to park anywhere on your property. Barring any restrictions from city/county ordinance or protective covenants. You have the right to park on the road side barring the same examples above. However, if you can park on the street, so can anyone else.

Answer 10

Negligible unfortunately, as I used to have this argument regularly when booking people outside their own homes

Answer 11

You have no rights to the highway.The fool who says put cones etc out is telling you to obstruct the highway with cones etc. is encouraging you to commit an offence which could land you in court.
