Is it rude to stand in a parking spot?


Is it rude to stand in a parking spot? Not violating any municipal code, probably, but definitely violating the first come, first served code. If a space is empty, it should go to the first car signaling or at least nearest the space. Standing in a space when others were there first is just rude.

Is it illegal to park in front of your own driveway in California?

With a few exceptions, parking in front of a driveway is against the law in California.

It's alright if you become backed up near a driveway because of traffic, though.


Can I get a ticket for parking too close to a driveway?
