Lehigh County has no driveway parking rule. Allentown prohibits parking so as to block entrance to or exit from any garage or driveway at any time, with a narrow exception for wide streets where a car sits mostly off the roadway.
Driveway access is a municipal matter in Pennsylvania. Allentown's Chapter 615 provides that no person shall park a vehicle in front of, opposite to, or so as to block entrance to or exit from a garage or driveway. The only exception is on streets 20 feet or wider where the vehicle parks on a garage apron, sits more than 50% off the roadway, and is not on a sidewalk. This applies to blocking your own or a neighbor's driveway. Parking on private property without the owner's consent is separately prohibited (§615-54). Boroughs and townships across Lehigh County have comparable rules; on-lot driveway dimensions are set by each municipality's zoning code, not the county.
Standard Allentown parking penalties apply: $15 within 10 days, $25 after 10 days, up to $100 after 20 days (§615-58); blocking vehicles may be towed.
