I see it all over, these people even have an official looking sign.

A couple of times a month I get asked not to park in front of people's houses.
If there is other parking close by, I'll move. Most times I just ignore them.

People get upset though. One time a guy said " your truck may not be there when you get back" I just replied " it's cool I know where you live"

Sorry city people curb parking is for everyone for up to two hours.

Had this issue in NOLA about a month ago. I laughed when I saw the sign. It never became an issue though and about a week later the sign was gone.

Spray paint over the "No" part of the sign.


Problem solved

Just tell them they only ticket/tow vehicles that are illegally parked. I tell people all the time that when they "think" they are good encroaching on my driveway.

That bothers me too. In the older times we would get a group of people and a ton of fried chicken and drinks and grab a spot after drinking and stay there until the parades started. Now people bring huge tarps and leave them there then they show up an hour before the parade and set-up. I hate that shite.

Also around that time people will block off huge parts of the road so their friends can park. Usually those people I won't mess with their claim. I know people who do.

As long as there is no meter you can park for free.

You are supposed to limit your parking to two hours unless you have a zoned resident permit.
I am not sure how well they enforce that rule, though i have seen the meter maids walking down residential streets with that chalk stick that marks the tires.

Unless you're in London...parking against the flow of traffic is typically illegal and will earn you a ticket. My daughter found this out the hard way a few months ago in Shreveport.
