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.

Others have already posted most of the suggestions I would have offered, but I thought I'd offer an FYI regarding the last comment. I believe that painting parking lines on the street or curb would actaully be illegal. So, while it may temporarily solve your problem, it could land you in hot water! I have also seen evidence of the campaign to park 2 cars in a 1-car spot. People are being encouraged to do this even though as was pointed out, it almost always creates an illegal parking situation and is dangerous for everyone's vehicle.
