Our residential block is across from an elementary school. The road is narrow and has no designated line for lanes. The block has stop signs at either end and less than 200 ft apart. There are four residence on block two with young children. Most driveway entrances are short crossing sidewalk halfway through a regular size auto's length and to completely park vehicle in driveway without intruding in sidewalk the garage must be open to allow protruding half of car to be moved into garage.
Our dilemma. Often we see parents make u-turns into our private driveways. Often moving over the sidewalk into private property. This was observed by all neighbors happening more than a dozen times a day. We have asked Berkeley Police to assist us, but have had little response , understandably since the department is under staff in the traffic division. But still our concern is two fold. Intrusion on private property CVC 490 of the California Code, and the direct threat to those who live and walk on the sidewalk in our neighborhood. We have had incidents but fortunately no accidents yet. There we have concern and wish this infraction to stop before it becomes a tragedy.
How should we move forward. Have often taken photo's, when can, but travel. Should we take the individuals to court even if we they have not been ticketed--but we have video showing the complete action of their U turn.
Seems not the right solution. Help us help this situation become safer. Thank you
