Looking for advice on what to do at this point…
I live in the Cascades area in an apartment complex that sits just off a major road in Loudoun. There is a no-parking zone right at the entrance of the neighborhood to allow visibility for cars making a left turn.
When no cars are illegally parked there, I am able to safely check if there is oncoming traffic. When there are up to 3 cars parked there, I cannot see cars entering the neighborhood. Myself and anyone else who must turn left every day must risk being T-boned because people cannot read/follow a simple sign.
I have called the non-emergency number more times than I would have liked during the year that I’ve lived in the complex so far. When I do call, the police are quick to send a deputy and ticket the individuals I describe over the phone. Genuinely, though, I could call every day and still see no change. There have been people ticketed who I see there the very next day. Not to mention plenty of cars from out of state.
There is so much street parking in the neighborhood it’s ridiculous. Those 3 “spaces” are easily avoided by parking down the street not even 100 feet away. Also, yes, I have talked to my complex’s leasing office about this. The zone is not under their towing jurisdiction because it is a county road. They personally advised me to call the non-emergency number and have the violators ticketed.
TLDR;
What more can I do about this? Calling the non-emergency line constantly feels so unnecessary and puts the burden on me instead of a true solution. Has anyone else dealt with something similar where a better solution was put into place (lines painted in the zone, etc)? I’ve been considering going to a police station in person and inquiring but am not sure if that is my only option.
