How do I file a neighborhood complaint?
Ok, my problem is with people parking their crap cars on the side of the street(s), and it is dangerous for both other motorists and the children in the neighborhood. They ALL have perfectly working driveways that are never full(of course by their car(s) being in the street). Sometimes traffic in the neighborhood has to take turns going down the street due to the non-moving cars on the road...
So, how can I file a complaint with the neighborhood or even the police department about this, because something tragic is bound to happen.
Thanks.

You could submit a petition to the city government requesting restricted parking hours (in my neighborhood you can only park on the street between the hours of 6pm and 6am) for public safety, or you could request that parking only be allowed on one side of the street, I've seen that in several neighborhoods to keep traffic moving smoothly. Unfortunately, as long as it is legal to park on the street and the tags on these cars are up to date, there isn't any legal action you can take except attempting to change the parking regulations in your neighborhood.

Unfortunately, their's nothing illegal about parking on the side of the street. However, it is illegal to park directly behind a driveway I believe. You can petition to have "no parking" zones.
I'm not sure if this is always the case, but I know at my home we had two cars in the garage, and I couldn't park my van in the driveway because it would block the cars within the garage. So my van and my brothers pick-up truck have to be on the street. We try not to park directly across from someone else parked on the street, because we don't like narrowing the road (not to mention the increased possibility of someone running up alongside my car and scratching it), but unfortunately most people just don't care.
Most neighborhoods have a neighborhood watch or neighborhood commity. Normally one of the houses in the front of your neighborhood is in charge of it, but you can ask around and figure out who's in charge. If worse comes to worse you can go to your local police station and ask if you can file a complaint and what they suggest you can do about it. Or if your a sociable neighbor and know these people personally, your could talk to your neighbors and figure out a way that will satisfy everyone, without getting the authorities involved.
