In the interest of uniformity, Local Government Units, traffic management and enforcing authorities, project managers, and homeowners must apply the requirements of the Manual on signs and pavement markings.
In case a car still parks in front of the homeowner’s driveway despite the “No Parking” sign facing a public road, the homeowner can demand that a traffic enforcer remove the illegally parked car. In addition, the traffic enforcer must issue a traffic ticket to the driver for illegal parking.
As a last resort, the homeowner can file a criminal case against the driver of the illegally parked car for the crime of “unjust vexation” under the Revised Penal Code. Such a crime involves any human conduct which, although not productive of some physical or material harm, would unjustly annoy or irritate an innocent person. It is unjust vexation when the car driver’s act of illegal parking causes annoyance, irritation, torment, distress or disturbance to the mind of the homeowner.
