You may not stop, stand, or park across a public or private driveway on Anderson streets. Zoning rules require most off-street parking areas and driveways to be paved with asphalt or concrete — single-family homes are the exception.
Traffic Code § 72.06(A)(1) prohibits standing or parking a vehicle in front of a public or private driveway, and § 72.04 bars leaving less than 10 feet of roadway for traffic. The Zoning Ordinance's PARKING SURFACE standard requires all off-street parking drives and access points — except single-family dwellings — to be a paved surface such as plant-mix asphalt, penetrating asphalt, or concrete (asphalt millings allowed at the Building Commissioner's discretion). Driveway culvert construction and street-cut work require an engineering permit and follow the driveway-construction procedures in Ch. 97.
Blocking a driveway is a parking violation ($10 if paid in 7 days, escalating to $40-$500 in court, § 72.99). Zoning-surface violations are enforced by the Building Commissioner.
