Quincy's zoning and traffic codes regulate driveway use. Blocking a private road or driveway on public streets is prohibited. Resident parking permits are only issued to vehicles without driveway/off-street parking space.
Under Quincy's traffic ordinance, parking in front of any private road or driveway (including your own, from the public street perspective) is prohibited. Resident parking permits are issued only when no driveway or parking lot space is available — an officer reviews the on-site situation before issuing. Commercial vehicle storage in residential driveways in Residence districts is subject to zoning restrictions. The city prohibits contractor's yards and storage of commercial equipment in residential zones.
Blocking a driveway is a ticketable parking violation.
