How close can you park to driveways?

[on-reserve.livejournal.com]

I'm not one to ask without googling. I've been googling this for a couple of hours and I come up with nothing.

How close are you allowed to park to the curb cut of someone's driveway?

I ask because someone on my street keeps parking in a way that slightly overhangs my driveway. I'm no stickler but our driveway is really narrow and it's got a big tree on one edge so it's difficult enough getting out without this car making it harder.

I thought it was a couple of feet. I can't find any citation of this anywhere online. I'd like to find the citation because I'd like to leave a polite note asking this person to stop overhanging my driveway and attach the bit of parking law that's relevant.

Thanks for any help you've got.

When I lived in Davis, I would just call the cops and have them towed. (I think I must have had that same driveway with the tree on one side.) The cops put a ticket on the car and call the towing agency. It's super-mean, but it looks like to the car owner that the cops noticed the violation first. It also solved the problem. Granted, my offender would park in half of my driveway, so there was usually no way to get around the car.
