BUY MY SPARE KIDNEY!!!  Group: Members Posts: 3,935 Joined: 29-August 04 From: Santa Ana, CA Member No.: 2,648 Region Association: Southern California  |
At my apartment complex, we have a 1½-car driveway that exits to a street. Unfortunately when cars park along the curb by my apartment complex (like the big trucks and SUVs that are out there right now) you have almost ZERO visiblity for oncoming traffic -- both ways! This morning when pulling out I almost got nailed in the side by a woman speeding in a honda. Because I had no visibility I had to 'chance it' for when to take off. Monday I almost got hit on by traffic going the opposite direction. Because you can't SEE traffic coming you just have to hope nobody is coming. Between 8AM and 6PM is WORST.
So, tonight my roommates and I are going to extend the 20-foot fire zone section another 100 feet, this way we can see oncoming traffic both ways. I called the management company for my apartments and all they could tell me is that it takes the city nearly a year to get involved with a safety problem like this, and last time it happened (10 years ago) all they did was say the owner of the property can paint the fire zone. The managers went out and painted a small section. Any chance we'll get arrested? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

I know of someone here that did this to keep people from blocking his back yard access. I thought it was hillarious and it looked really good.

Just try and get the right color red paint. Saw a red zone in front ofan apartment in SF that was a really funky color. BTW, it probably is illegal, but only if someone sees you do it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Why do I bother???? Group: Members Posts: 633 Joined: 8-September 03 From: Madison, MS Member No.: 1,123 |
I say go for it! Then remember that YOU can't park there. It would be too ironic if you had to park there sometime and got a ticket in your counterfit "Fire Zone" !!!

I used to be in this band... This retired FBI dood gave us all hats-n-shirts in Vegas, and we'd all wear them at the same time. So, after a couple weeks, Corey the LD picked up this theatrical blood somewhere, and when we'd pull into a town, we'd all get out of the vehicles with our shirts on, we'd pour some blood on the sidewalk, someone would lay in it, then we'd chalk him out..

I had an old lady that lived down the street from me who absolutely hated it when anybody parked in front of her house. She went out one day and painted the entire curb from driveway to driveway red.
It took about a week for the city to tell her it's illegal and had it removed. Then sent her the bill. |

It is illegal but you prolly won 't get caught unless someone sees you and reports it.
I suggest everyone do the same thing, we will alll start painting red curbs. Everywhere you see a curb, paint it red. To hell with them, they don't need a place to park, they can just drive around the block until they run out of gas (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

Put on one of those vests with the yellow stripes and go out and paint it. No one will even think to question you. Just to be safe, hang a key ring with at least 20 keys on one of your belt loops. You will look totally official. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

We had a similar situation here at work.
We just made a call to the city here,explained the parking situation,they came out looked around,and installed the no parking signs. They then put warning stickers on windshields of trucks already there,givening them an hour or so to move or be towed.Then they sent in the tow-trucks to move them. It didn't take too long for people to get the message. Ron |

You must stand around with about 6 friends for at least 5 hours, looking at the curb, drinking coffee for it to be "official". Then one guy actually paints it. Kinda like what Seemore does for a living. |

Ah blow me SLITs... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif)
My street gets narrow where the public street ends and a privately maintained road starts. Morons at Public Works decided to put a fire plug there and a piddly ass 5 foot section of red zone. Of course when land started selling for 800K an acre in the foothills they started building up above me just under the water reservoir. The supply trucks were too big to make the turn onto the twisty 18 foot wide road so they parked next to the red zone and the hydrant.....blocking access to the road and my driveway. A quick trip to the hardware store for some "safety red" in rattle cans extended the red another 20 feet.....the City now comes up and paints it for free....no muss no fuss....they think it was their idea.... This road is so screwed up, the Fire Department brings the rookie drivers up to practice tight turns.... |
