I got a parking violation for obstructing a driveway code 98 subsection f2. The Traffic Rule pdf defines a Driveway as " every entrance or exit authorized pursuant to applicable law and USED BY VEHICULAR TRAFFIC to or from lands or buildings abutting a roadway" The problem I have with this ticket is that there is no garage or parking at the end of said driveway, there is a pedestrian gate that leads to the side of the building, that gate, and the alley on the other side of that gate is not wide enough for a VEHICLE to drive thru. So i would think it does not meet the criteria for a legal driveway because it can NOT be used for VEHICLES. There used to be a different building where the driveway curb indents are, but the new construction put a pedestrian access gate in front of the driveway curb indents are which is not large enough for a car to drive thru. The building owners nailed a sign on the gate reading "active driveway no parking" but a vehicle can not fit thru the gate its nailed on. I suspect they want to save the parking space for themselves.If i take pictures of the so called "driveway" and gate and submit it as my visual defense on their online dispute site do i have a chance of winning? Thank you.
