[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our bus stop is at a T-junction.

In the mornings, we all park before the split (bus comes in opposite direction and then makes a left).

In the evening past few times cars are parked on both sides and not allowing anyone to pass..

So now my question is which side should the cars waiting for the bus park? If cars are parked on both sides of the road facing opposite directions,[b] in front of the stop[/b], who should move when another car comes?[/quote]

No one should be parked in front of a bus stop. But you aren’t going to be telling everyone else where to park. So your options seem to be let it go or call the police and ask them to come ticket. Surely you’re too old to need validation that you are right and everyone else is wrong. If you think you’re wrong then just don’t park that way anymore. [/quote]

I was parked facing the approaching bus. The other cars were parked in front of bus stop. But bus makes left at the T so none of us initially obstructed the bus, but we all obstructed the other car that wanted to go through. Then that car got sandwiched between the cars in front and the bus which arrived a little bit after him. Now the bus driver couldn't make the left after kids got off because of that car, but that car driver couldn't do anything till the kids got in their cars and they all moved away. I then made the right at the T and parked in a driveway, the  not involved car swerved and moved away and bus driver made his left turn at the T.

All this drama because of the other parents refusing to move their car forward when the other car approached. I could have been nicer and made that right turn earlier before bus arrived, to let him through,  but I didn't.

Since we were all not 20 feet away,  looks like all of us were illegally parked.[/quote]
