Can you legally put cones on a public road to reserve a space for a car?

Question:
My grumpy neighbour has put cones out on the road in front of his house to stop people parking there when he goes out and therefore always has a place to park on his return. Is he legally entitled to do this or could we remove them?

Don't take direct action. If he's the sort of man who selfishly 'reserves' the public road then he'll be the sort who'll scratch your car for you if you're in 'his' place. If you have a go at him personally he'll probably have the police on to you and you won't win that one.

Who would agree with me that Traffic Roundabouts are a genius invention, Agree, Disagree, & Why?

The first thing you need to do is check with your city or county on what the zoning laws are in your area. Despite what most seem to "think" here, there are instances where it would be legal but again it depends on your city or county and what they say. In most cities, parking on a residential street would be a free for all. But if you are in a mixed zone area it can be a different story. Just take a few minutes and call the city offices to find out.

What does horsepwoer do in car...?

Nope he is acting illegally. If he has a driveway he is entitled to ask the council to paint a white line accross it to stop people parking there but he cant do it himself. If there is no driveway and it is just a kerbside parking spot with no local council restrictions ie single or double yellow lines, then anyone with a valid road tax disc can park there. Take his cones, lob them back in his garden and do it with a smile on your face! There isnt a damn thing he can do.
