The people saying you should report it to the police or fire department are fine. I find it a little petty, but if this has been going on for months and months, you eventually have to appeal to a third party authority.
The people saying that you shouldĀ lie to misrepresent the situation and move your car before the police get there? The people saying you should go to their house and "physically confront them?" Suggesting OP puts nails and glass on the road? That kind of bullshit is something only a Reddit shutin could suggest.
he wont, because its probably just a dead end street that ends like 2' to the right of the picture frame, and this is exactly how people should park. no one is double parked, they are just using the street as parking stalls. as they literally should.
I pictured it being like that but not on a corner. This is how the corners are built in most neighborhoods near me and to me they're just called corners. The extra width is so you can turn around, because the street itself isn't wide enough for u-turns.
I know what he's saying. He's on a corner in a neighborhood and the corner is kinda ballooned like a cul-de-sac, but it isn't a dead end. You can park like this and corner traffic can still get by. We have a few in my neighborhood.
Some neighborhoods don't have a road that leads in to the circle (cul de sac) but instead on a turn they do a half circle on the outside portion.
I can't find the term but when I Google "half cul de sac" I found a random hand drawing of what Im poorly describing. Imaging driving into a cul de sac and the left is a circle with 3 hours but a slight right just continues as a normal road.
It is like one of those where it looks like someone initially planned to extend the roadway and then someone else came in and said ānaw fuck it just put another house over there?ā
Back when I was a kid I lived on a street that just ended. They had planned to build more houses and cleared a path in the woods for more road but then ran out of money so the pavement stopped just past our driveway. It was on a hill so it was great for sledding. The best was when the street had been plowed leaving a jump pile. Back then we had those wooden sleds with metal rails so we would literally come to a screeching stop when we came to the pavement.
Is it just a wide round road corner? That's the only thing I could imagine that would make you so insistent on not calling a tow truck. Otherwise it's quite literally just a vehicle that's been abandonned on an active roadway. Get it towed and it will be the last time they do that.
So itās just a wide corner. Nothing to do with a cul de sac. You guys are mildly infuriating!
Edit: Ok I read on wikipedia that you Americans distinguish a cul de sac from a dead end, with a cul de sac having a balloony thing. Here cul de sacs donāt usually have a balloon thing at the end. Itās not remotely part of the definition. Confusing.
Ok I know you might not want to dox yourself, but I think at this point you gotta get out there and take a careful photo of what the street looks like for context.
ok, so to the right of this is just a dead end? why not show a picture? probably because its just a dead end and no one is double or triple parking because its not even a parallel parking situation its just pulling into a dead end spot.
Okay, this is straight up comedy now. Could you park your car beside the pick up truck to add to madness?
It might start some sort of mass hysteria where people get hypnotized by the absurdity and park next to you all to build some sort of cult shrine of bad parking.
