    Question regarding parking in front of a "driveway curb cut" when there is no actual driveway

    FYI, I fought the citation and won. I initially protested the citation online with a summary of my argument and typical of SFMTA this initial appeal was denied (I lost). I expected this since at this stage they basically look a the details of the citation, pictures from the parking control...

    Question regarding parking in front of a "driveway curb cut" when there is no actual driveway

    Which picture are you refering to with a Private Property sign? I don't see one. That said, the street is not private property. You can park on any street in front of private property. And only the City can define a tow away zone on the street, not the owner or tenant of a building on the...

    Question regarding parking in front of a "driveway curb cut" when there is no actual driveway

    Not sure which pictures you are referring to with each comment since all three streets have no parking signs. That said, the original question is about driveways, not no parking violations so not sure why the no parking signs matter to the original topic. that said ... The first picture has...

    Question regarding parking in front of a "driveway curb cut" when there is no actual driveway

    per the current vehicle codes, I believe qhT matters is what the current use of the property is as defined by building codes and permitted construction. If the other sidewalk is a solid wall that was built per issued construction and change-of-use permits, does it really matter if 100 years ago...

    Question regarding parking in front of a "driveway curb cut" when there is no actual driveway

    FYI, trying to upload a couple of pictures from one of the spots in our area that meet the description of the issue. I thought my original description of what I am describing (the area between the "driveway cuts") was sufficient. The location of the car is in front of an area that does not...

    Question regarding parking in front of a "driveway curb cut" when there is no actual driveway

    In San Francisco, there is a shortage of parking in certain areas. In some of these areas you will find what I will call "driveway curb cuts" where there is no actual driveway.
