This. Years ago I got ticketed for blocking my own driveway.

Do you have Codes enforcement? I would call them and get the Parker ticketed.

Sort of ridiculous to ticket someone for blocking their own driveway.

and yet they do. I live in the suburbs and you will get ticketed for this.

What jurisdiction?
I work with parking officers and we literally do not ticket if it’s their own driveway. They can run the tag and check.

Not ticketing doesn't make it legal.

https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title46.2/chapter12/section46.2-1239/

No person shall park a vehicle or permit it to stand, whether attended or unattended, on a highway in front of a private driveway, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant or the entrance to a fire station, within 15 feet of the entrance to a plainly designated emergency medical services agency, or within 20 feet from the intersection of curb lines or, if none, then within 15 feet of the intersection of property lines at any highway intersection.

I don't understand why it should be illegal to block your own driveway, though I guess you don't want to have to make the parking attendants verify that the car blocking any given driveway shouldn't be there.

Because you don't own that space in front of your driveway. It doesn't belong to you, you can't choose to use it for parking.

Citation? This makes no sense.

DP. In my neighborhood in Virginia, people get ticketed frequently on summer Saturday mornings when swim meets are going on.

When the pool parking lot get full, people try to sqeeeeze in right up to driveways- I guess so they can walk a slightly shorter distance. They come back to their cars three hours later to find they’ve been ticketed. We have notified the other teams to tell their parents not to park close to driveways, but they’ll still do it.

When that law was passed there was no internet on the cell phone, etc. no one needed to be taking up the channels on the police radio calling in every plate for a check.

No unless it is your own driveway.

You'd have to be a special kind of person to park in front of your neighbors driveway without their permission.

You can legally block your own driveway. You cannot block someone else’s regardless on if they’re using it or whats in it.
If there is some extenuating circumstance I think it’s ok to ask the neighbor if it’s only for like an overnight or a few hours.

They can’t block anyone else’s

This.
OP, it doesn't make sense what you are even asking.

Yes or no.

So by that logic if they have an inflatable in their driveway, a driveway party, or anything not requiring a car to pull in or out in next hour you can block their driveway?

You are probably one of the dumbest people using the internet.

Try reading the actual post.

Often posters invert roles to get different perspectives.

I have a feeling OP is the one having work done and her neighbor is taking advantage.
