I can’t figure out why parking across your own driveway should be prohibited. Fortunately, SF won’t ticket for that and, as far as I can tell, only tickets people blocking driveways if the owners complain.

Unless TC§1004 qualifies as an “official traffic control device”… LULZ!

I love that SF’s TC§1004 conflicts with California Vehicle Code Section 22500 which states: No person shall stop, park, or leave standing any vehicle whether attended or unattended, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a peace officer or official traffic control device, in any of the following places: (e) In front of a public or private driveway, except that a bus engaged as a common carrier, school bus, or a taxicab may stop to load or unload passengers when authorized by local authorities pursuant to an ordinance.”

Do I just need to submit my IQ? Are they going to want my SAT scores? Diplomas?

Yup. That qualifies as blocking the driveway. You’re extending past the curb cut.

Not in S.F….Q: Can I parallel park my own car in the curb cut across my driveway?
A: It is legal to park parallel across your driveway as long as you are not obstructing the sidewalk per the Traffic Code Section 1004 which states: “The owner or lessee of property shall be permitted to park the owner’s or lessee’s vehicle across the private driveway of said property, provided that such vehicle displays a valid license plate registered to the address of that property with the Department of Motor Vehicles, and provided that such driveway serves no more than two family dwelling units. This Section does not permit the parking of vehicles across sidewalks or in red zones

And this one is just stupid: it’s actually illegal in California to block your own driveway. Got that one wrong on my drivers license renewal test because it seemed so counter-intuitive.

Per the MTA, at a driveway that does not have an official red MTA paint job, if a car is extending over the top of the curb cut, it is towable. That is, the driveway starts at the high side of the transition from curb to driveway.

I think what you mean is the newspaper that used to give you legitimate in-depth analysis of world events is now reporting on Miley Cyrus.
