In conversation on Sunday with someone who got a ticket for parking too close to a driveway I discovered you must park 1.5 meters away from a driveway. Did you know? I did not realize. That sounds like a lot to me, and I know that in tight spots I surely have been closer than that. Beware! Owners may be particularly vigilant if there`s an event in the area and an over abundance of vehicles are inundating the area. See Section 7 article (1) (c).
