Some get an idea in their head that what they think is correct and want to convince everyone they are right to the death and seat saving and street parking are just two examples. The articles speak to what can happen and has happened to some already. If you have a vehicle parked in the street and there is an accident because someone was swerving out to go around it you will be held liable per the ordinances and any lawyer would have a picnic with it. I would say one had better hope no one is seriously injured because of this type of accident or the liability could take their home if they have insufficient insurance. Insurance could even be an issue if they were considered parked illegally. As stated in one of the articles the Village streets are not engineered and built to accommodate on street parking and if two cars parked directly across from each other it is doubtful there would be room for a vehicle to go between them. Just looking down most any Village street and the absence of cars parked on the street at least in most cases should tell us all a lot about whether cars should be parked on the street or not.

Community standards say an RV vehicle can be parked in your own driveway for 72 hours to load and unload. If it were legal to park it in the street then why would this make any difference just park it in the street for as long as you like.

Then there is the issue of the neighbors concerns but not many seem to care about that too much anymore so no reason to go there.
