Roadside Parking

I suppose the thing you have to consider is that anybody policing the area wouldn't know that you were parking across your own drive and could ticket you for obstruction. 

Just put a note on saying owner parked in front of own gate the do Google translate for Spanish wording.

I don't think for one moment it is a problem some people like to do scare mongering. Can you imagine the admin involved with people parking in front of their own gates claiming against the ticket.

Thanks. Very true. Quiet enough road and I’m only blocking my own gate anyway

Thanks. I won’t be looking for a Vado anyway as there’s no need and the drop kerb is into my own entrance. I’ve seen a few Vado’s around here though and the yellow area extends a good bit along the kerb beyond their gates. I wonder if those paying for the Vado for their entrance can even park in that yellow area or is that whole area taken out of commission 

HI here is a interesting article regarding parking 

Some people buy Keep Clear or No Park­ing signs at hard­ware stores and put them in front of their drives/​gar­ages. These signs are not valid if they are used as a Keep Clear sign or to pro­hibit park­ing on the pub­lic road, since the Town Hall reg­u­lates and has au­thor­ity for park­ing reg­u­la­tions in the zone.

Re­mem­ber that when you pay for a proper “Vado” or Keep Clear sign, you are pay­ing to have the right of way of vehicles to your gar­age, not the park­ing space on a pub­lic road.  Some people think that they can park their vehicle at the door of their gar­age, where it has a “Vado” sign in or­der to be able to ac­cess the drive. Only when they are fined they real­ise that the Keep Clear sign gives them the right of free ac­cess to the gar­age, and it is not meant to stop other people park­ing on the pub­lic road in front of their ac­cess, but al­low them to do it them­selves. This is not the pur­pose of a Vado. Simply put:  a Vado means it can­not be blocked, someone can­not park there.

Maybe to get a definitive answer you should ask the question on the N332 Facebook page or their website.   If you have not heard of them, the sites are run in collaboration with officers of the Guardia Civil for English speaking people.

Can you park your car outside your drive in front of your own home in the street.

If it is a drop kerb with a vado permanente then no, you can't. It gives you the right to cross the kerb to get into your drive (hence the name permanent ford) but you can't park in front of it either. If no vado sign then yes but others can as well. 

And be aware that some councils are removing the drop kerb for owners who do not have a vado permanente licence and charging the home owner for the work. 

Thank you for your sound advice I appreciate it thanks.
