Parking outside your home

I live in a terrace house with no drive. I totally understand that I don't own the road so can't stop people parking outside my house BUT what drives me insane is when people park inconsiderately so that they put 2 cars in a space big enough for 3

We live in a terraced house with no drive as well, but we also don`t have a pavement outside, we step straight out of the door into the road. Our next door neighbour really does think he owns the road, as he`s tried several different methods of preventing anyone parking outside his house, this notably being the most outrageous, as I posted at the time.

No problem with people paring on the road so long as they don't block the drive. WE live in a holiday resort that puts on big events several times a year and our road gets cars parked all along it. We're lucky enough to have a big drive that takes about 6 cars and on occasions when I've seen families crawling up and down with kids desperate because the event has already started, I'll go out and usher a couple of cars into our drive. Doesn't inconvenience us (as there's no way we could get out of our road in the car anyway!) and makes their day

You do not own the space in front of your house on a public road and there is nothing you can do about it. If you are disabled you may be able to get a parking space outside your house designated by the council.

I think that "residents only parking spaces" might need special permission on what is a public road.
In many places there are cars parked and you just have to be very careful. Where my daughter lives now she sometimes has to go onto a nearby road to park.

We are in a residential parking zone and residents pay an annual fee for our permit. It is still often difficult to find a parking space in our own road. I do think it is a man thing to get ratty about others parking in front of your house, and totally unreasonable, because unless there are parking restrictions, you have no right of "ownership" to that convenient spot outside your own home. Tell that to husbands everywhere, though, and watch them get grumpy!

Afraid it is not just a ' man ' thing as I get irate with my next door neighbours family/friends. He has a great long drive that can take two/three cars so what do they insist on doing? Park in front of our house! And they all own either vans or these big 4 X 4's. And the front of his house is empty! We came back from holiday to find not one, not two, but three of their vehicles parked from his drive past our house, so we then had to park outside our 90 year old neighbours house, meaning if her daughter had taken her out, she would have had to park even further up the street. It is just inconsiderate. I would love to say something, but don't want to fall out with them. It just makes me so annoyed as they are all young and fit and could park in his drive if they don't want to walk too far. Grrrrrrrrrrrr lol!
