Sounds like you are completely within your rights and shouldn’t feel like a jerk

Clearly the residents don’t share the same sentiment.

ChiCityCoug

I don’t blame them. But it is the fault of the city and not yours

Sounds like the city needs to put a traffic light in.

Lol your other post didn’t last long at all. Was hoping to respond.

Are those residents paying for the street, or is the taxpayer?

ReiUrso

I don't blame the neighbors for being mad. Need a traffic light at intersection.

Nah you are good. They should be complaining to the city about the congestion at the intersection, if anything. The

It's inconsiderate, but not wrong or illegal.

I don't even view it as inconsiderate if you are following traffic laws

Good point. I mean she would have no recourse against me. All she would have

Probably just a citizens arrest

What law did I break?

Joking. Referring to a recent post.

Ok yeah I saw that one as well. Nice haha. I actually want an update on that one

Putting garbage cans across a public road is inconsiderate

Not even. It's smart. Roads are there for a reason.

That road is not there for that reason.

Sea Chicken

If there is a public road it's a valid place to drive. Sorry you don't like it.

This isn’t the point. He’s not asking if he’s breaking the law.

DiamondMo

Of course it is. They don’t build public roads just for the homes on that street

Put a sign in your car window saying "you should move to a better neighborhood"

Funny enough it’s the “richer” neighborhood in the area and on the neighborhood

Then their response surprises me even less.

Make the sign "Should've bought that house on the cul-de-sac!"

Kilgore Trout

Any neighborhood who has a FB group deserves more traffic.

If they’re blocking the right of way then you can turn them in to the city.
