What do to about people parking illegally?
So a bunch of people are consistently parking very, very illegally at the corner of my street. Where they park they block the sightlines entirely. It makes everyone trying to turn out of my street have to laboriously creep out and pull halfway into the lane, which [censored] up the whole traffic flow. Here is an MSPaint:
 Undrawn is that at least one of the parked cars is facing the wrong direction for some reason. Anyway, anyone have any experience with trying to resolve a situation like this? [censored] notes on windshields, keying spree, hand-made NO PARKING!!! sign, call the police(I'd feel ridiculous calling the police about a parking violation)?

Call the police, it's not like they have better [censored] to do. It seems like pretty normal parking for a lot of places though, are you sure its actually illegal?

Re: What do to about people parking illegally?
Yellow curb, I tried to MS Paint the grey/yellow break. The street I'm coming out of slopes down a little bit, so there's a longer no parking area than most intersections. Also you're definitely not allowed to face the wrong direction.
Man, I'm going to feel like such a little bitch calling the police and complaining about this.

I Don\'t See a Problem....
I don't see a problem....
There is an advantage: *Making right hand turns is easier. Those cars in the right lane sheild you and allow you to make right hand turns with little risk. The only way you can get hit is if a car enters the intersection and IMMEDIATELY changes lanes in the middle of an intersection. Not bloody likely... For left hand turns it could be more of a problem but left hand turns are ALWAYS a problem. I'm an avid practioner of right-hand turns and then doing a U-turn to get going the direction I want. Since I've been doing this I've had no accidents. Former FBI director J.Edgar Hoover forbid his driver to do left-hand turns. He was a wise man. Here is a book about J.Edgar's FBI. http://www.amazon.com/No-Left-Turns-.../dp/0345250133
