[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drove my kid to school today.  I want to complain.  On the major road that the HS sits on, the snow was cleared enough to allow one car to get through--so people were being courteous and allowing waves of people to get through.

But the people that live on that street were parked on the street making the road even narrower.  The traffic on the road is not a surprise to them.  It happens every day.  Do we really need to invoke a snow emergency so these people don't park on the street?  They were able to move their car elsewhere when the plows were out---put them back there!  The county could implement snow emergency parking requirements during school hours.  But really, it just seems like common sense.[/quote]

Driving in the one lane plus street parking is a pita. But where would you like those cars be moved to if not in front of their home? Are you offering to tow the vehicle to your house/driveway so you can get through?[/quote]

DP and I would like to complain about one of the several houses on our walking route to school that did not shovel their sidewalk at all. This particular one then parked their car on the street but several feet from the curb because of the plow-made snow bank. So not only do you have to get off the sidewalk to walk around, but you have to walk way in the street because of their car. The street is already narrow. I almost got hit coming back from elementary drop off, by some idiot driver flying down the street despite the snow piles and poor visibility. [/quote]

The problem was the "some idiot driver flying down the street..." not the person who has the right to park on the street. How do you know how many cars they have? How do you even know it's their car and not a guest's? A nanny's? Other service? [/quote]

No, the problem was the fact that they didn't shovel the sidewalk in front of their house which the PP would have used to walk to school, and then would not have been concerned with people parking on the street and cars flying by, etc.  [/quote]
