But by "in my immediate area" I usually refer to "within earshot of a gas-powered landscaping tool." Landscape companies don't park their vehicles very far from where they're planning on doing the work. Chances are, I'll hear their trimmers, or see people walking around with spray-cannisters on their backs.

If it's an actual emergency, I'm not going to spend a second thinking about it. I'll drive on the front lawn and over the curb, and worry about community standards later if I leave skidmarks in my lawn.
I think many of us don’t consider ruining our irrigation systems because of illegally parked lawn crews. But we’re being told that’s the solution.
