Jeffrey Shaw Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 round here they put brick ends about 6 inches high half an inch apart from one end to the other or just to your property boundary and it works even to the partially sighted driver they will here and feel a grinding noise from under their indicating they have a problem! But if those bricks are on highway land (e.g. grass verge or pavement) not owned by the house-owner, he/she is then in the wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yog Sothoth Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Where I live, people park on the pavement - no grass verges as such. They do it both sides of the road and sometimes completely block the path, so pedestrians have to walk round the vehicle via the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glennis Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 But its not your verge, so why are you putting plant pots on it? No, its not my personal property, but its outside my house and other verges on our road have been destroyed, and i don't want this one to go the same way .... and it does keep the cars off - so its not harming anyone, and it also brightens the place up.

So long as you appreciate that there could be repercussions if someone trips over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playman Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 i live near a school and every bit of spare land is parked on during drop offs and pick ups, it would not be so bad if they occasionally walked to school but no they have to drive the 100 yards to collect their little dears and churn grass verges up and cause a bleedin nuisance cos they will not get off their fat a**es and walk, we cannot get near our own house by road because of them, i would like to know how they would like it if the verge and path were blocked off outside their home.

Olive Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Does anyone know if it is an offence to park over someone's driveway? We've left polite notices under windscreen wipers, but it's different cars that do it each time mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've left polite notices under windscreen wipers, but it's different cars that do it each time mostly. It can be obstruction. You need to report it to the police and they need to actually observe that you have been obstructed. You can ask the Council to put an H marking or KEEP CLEAR marking on the road, across the end of your driveway, but you do have to pay for it. This page on their website explains it all: https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/roads/about/transport-and-highways/traffic-regulations/non-regulatory-markings.html These markings aren't enforceable, but most people comply.

iansheff Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 If there is a dropped kerb then I think that it can be removed by the appropriate authority but if there is no dropped kerb then you can park there, it is just bad manners but if you have a drive you should have a dropped kerb There are 4 on my street that have drives but no dropped kerb.

the_rudeboy Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I always understood it was seen as an offence to obstruct your access onto the highway but not off It. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
