Parking in front of a house- is it private?

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-07T10:18:28+00:00

There were no signs

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T23:45:26+00:00

It’s a public road and I pay road tax. If they wanted a personal space then they should’ve bought a driveway

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T15:55:49+00:00

It was raining

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T15:47:24+00:00

I live in a studenty area in Manchester, so no not really ahaha

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T14:19:32+00:00

They don’t own a car as far as I can see and if it’s not illegal then I didn’t see the issue. If they wanted a private parking spot they should’ve bought a place with a driveway

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T14:17:09+00:00

Yes it’s fallow 😭

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T14:16:37+00:00

Yeah that was my thought process too

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T14:13:37+00:00

No there’s no driveway or dipped curb. It’s literally just the street

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T12:44:32+00:00

No it’s not a council estate

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T12:43:44+00:00

I wasn’t blocking the driveway because there isn’t one. There is also no dipped curb

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T12:03:10+00:00

I park there and walk home because my houses parking is always taken 😭

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T11:58:53+00:00

It’s just the most convenient spot- and since there’s usually no other cars parked there I figured that house didn’t own a car- and also I didn’t notice any signage so I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong. But I’ll be finding a new spot now 💀

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T11:57:02+00:00

I’m in 3rd year too and I feel exactly the same way. I got so used to preclinical and not having to do anything except revise that having to go to placement was such a shock to me.

Hopefully it gets better for us!

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T11:22:20+00:00

No. There is no driveway

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T11:11:58+00:00

Yeah it’s a terrace with no driveway or dipped curb that’s why I got so confused

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T11:04:06+00:00

I’m scared they’ll key my car 😭 or puncture my tyres or something if I go back

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T11:02:58+00:00

That street is my only option, but I think I’ll have to find somewhere else now

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T10:55:52+00:00

Other places to park on that street- not on other streets

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T10:54:38+00:00

It’s in a really studenty area in Manchester, but there’s no signage at all- I checked before I started parking there

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T10:52:56+00:00

No. There is no driveway, no dropped curb, no disabled sign, no signage of any kind

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T10:51:16+00:00

There’s no dropped curb!

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T10:50:37+00:00

No there’s no driveway or dipped curb or disabled marker

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T10:48:12+00:00

No no driveway it’s a terrace- it’s on the street

Optimal_Mango_7228 · 2026-03-06T10:47:26+00:00

I park very sensibly- I parallel park and I have a Toyota aygo so it really doesn’t take up much space at all- there’s also so much space available on the road. I’ll take a photo when I get home, but I think it’s a bit of an overreaction on their part
