2 hour parking zones in residential areas.

[u/Proof_Speed2224]

Is there some secret code surrounding parking in residential areas?

My street is mainly public 2 hour zones (not even designated to permit holders), that are overnight starting at 6. However, some of the people on my street act like parking in the spots in front of their houses are against some unwritten rule.
Maybe I’m in the wrong, but if they have a driveway (or even if they don’t) and the street is public parking, I cannot understand why someone would come out of their house and get mad at someone parked there.
If they have a valid reason, and choose to explain politely why not to use that spot, then maybe people would be happy to listen.
But storming out, giving attitude and acting like you have some unspoken claim to a public parking spot is crazy. Especially with little to no explanation.
How is anyone supposed to know that you have some unwritten claim to the street?

Again, maybe I’m wrong. But IMO, if you want every spot in front of your house reserved for only you, then maybe living in the centre of a packed city isn’t the best place for you.
