People park up and down our street all the time. We live on the last street pretty much on a dead end. Hubby always parks in our driveway. No one else does but he does. We have a skinny driveway that doesnt fit two cars and hubby threw his back out and parked in front of our mail box so I could get in and out without bugging him, because when he throws his back out he can not move for 3 days. Since when can we not park infront of our own mailboxes...never ticketed or warned about this in 4 years we been here...guess its ok to throw huge parties and block the whole street but not park 2 days infront of your own home.....Unbelievable!40 bucks too. We live so far back that cop must have been visiting someone to even know because I dont think anyone would have cared enough to report that. If they did they suck.....LOL 4951

Where you parked "parallel" to the curb?  They have been giving tickets for people parked "nose in" or more than 18" from the curb, which both seem to be ridiculous.  Not sure there is any law you cannot park in front of your mailbox. 4951

Auctioneer, I dont know what direction he was facing, maybe thats it. Hubby just called and told me to budget it in or it will go to 65 in a month.....LOL I really didnt pay attention in my comings or goings which way he was faced. 4951

It may have been the postal person who called on you.  If you are in front of the mailbox that long they can't deliver without getting out their vehicle which they don't like
 
@Stealth83: No we both always purposely leave room for her to get to the box if we have to park like that which is rare....I know they dont like that...infront I meant about 4 feet from box but still our curb. Oh well , will pay it and learn....and your correct if someone called they are postal......HA!

@Auctioneer: Yup! I got ticketed at 6:15p on a Friday night in our neighbood a few weeks back bc I was parked facing the wrong direction.
I was shocked at the $40 price tag, too. I'm still ticked about it. Especially bc they didn't ticket the tree guys who were also parked the wrong way at the same time! 4951

@Burnsway....the mailman probably reported you . It is illegal to block your mailbox  because the mailman can not deliver your mail . So blame your mail carrier . Next time park at least 10 feet away from your mail box & you will not get a ticket. 4951

Houston has been ticketing a lot of people for parking the wrong direction.  I got one of those.  Obviously, just a money grab by the city. 4951

@TXSunDvl: Why is it a money grab, do the right thing and park on the proper side of the road and you won't get a ticket...
