Description
Many of our neighbor's frequently park in the road as their "everyday" parking. I understand using the road in front if your home if it is a special occasion but on a daily basis it's quite frustrating to dodge cars every day. They may not be aware of the "No Parking on This Street" signs that are posted as nearly all of them are covered by the overgrown trees around them!

Jennifer, I have reviewed the Municipal Code of Flowery Branch 11.12 for legal solutions. Additionally, I reviewed State Law 40-6-202 for other options and was unable to find anything in either area to allow the Police dept. to begin some type of enforcement. I agree with you in that the way these vehicles are parking is creating somewhat of an unsafe condition. The attempt at a solution may be through the Home Owners Association. I am not aware of their covenants but you might be.
In the meantime, I will brief staff on these issues and ask them to monitor the parked cars in terms of the safety aspect. If at any point they find parked cars impeding more than one lane in width only then can we begin to issue tickets. I am sorry but there are no other laws I can find to eliminate the issue,
