     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

     A My original question was a higher level question that was basically: 1. Given the definition of a driveway per the California Streets And Highways code (SHC) Division 7, Part 3, Chapter 27, Article 1, Section 5870 which clearly states: "“Driveway” means a paved portion of a public street...

     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

      Hi adjusterjack, I'd rather not given that this is a public forum - and I feel a specific picture would focus the discussion on a specific example and not the more general questions raised. In hindsight I should not have gone into that level of detail since it diverts from the main question at...

      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. What I mean by this is that the curb cuts exists (dropping the curb to street level) as if the entrance to a driveway...
