Is it passive aggressive to put up a No Parking sign?

[PrematureConker]

Ok it is. I know it is.
5 garages. Mine one end, the other end is empty. I drive nose first to the empty garage door and swing round to park in front of mine.
As it’s empty my upstairs and next door neighbours let their guests park there. There have been people from up the street park there when it’s been difficult to park in the street.
I’m fed up of coming home and not being able to park because people who don’t live here are blocking my turning circle and door knocking until I find them. Last year I ended up having a row with someone because he said I could park and was being difficult.

Now lockdown is starting to lift and neighbours are having guests I’ve already been blocked. I can’t be doing with it anymore and because it doesn’t affect them the neighbours don’t realise how annoying it is.
So should I get a no parking sign and stick it on the end garage?
Phew, that was cathartic!
(Please be gentle, I haven’t posted in AIBU as it’s too scary)

Even with your diagram you are completely unreasonable.

I hope this all makes more sense now there is a diagram and I’ve explained about the other parked cars.
We’re not supposed to park in front of our garages btw for exactly this reason (that it blocks access) but as the others do I do.

You can't put a no parking sign up for a garage you have no right to. What will you do when someone occupies that garage again?

Can't understand from your diagram why you can't reach your garage/space?

Can you reverse all the way down the drive and then round and into your space?

If everyone parked in their garages there wouldn’t be a problem. But neighbours 2 and 3 have other people using theirs (which we’re also not meant to do but hey ho) and that’s why they park in front.

Did you get your driving licence free with a pack of shreddies? Or do you drive a monster truck? Because, seriously, if you can't manage to park your car without using such a MASSIVE turning circle then you really shouldn't be driving.

So your problem is with neighbours 2 and 3? Why can't you just speak to them?

With a turning circle the length of 3 garages yabu. Learn how to manoeuvre

Oh ok I can see from your diagram now why you need the space. I guess the problem is no one is meant to park there so you can’t really start putting up signs. I suppose you could park in front of the empty garage instead whilst no one is using it?

It’s not to scale doghead and I’ve explained that I have to reverse past two parked cars. I should have put them on the diagram really for it to make more sense.

Can you reverse into the garage area so you don’t need to swing round?

I’m assuming your drawing is showing more room than you actually have!

Can't you just reverse park?

Could you not reverse down the drive then round the corner? Not ideal, but you can't ask people not to park in a spot that Is a parking space just so you don't have to do a trickier maneuvere. How your neighbours drive into their spaces?

I can envisage this very well now. Because everyone parks outside of the garages instead of inside the garages it just doesn't leave room, it's not that it couldn't be done, depending on your car, but it's extremely difficult. I think yabu, but I do understand the problem.

Do you remember reverse bay parking from your driving test?

If I'm not misunderstood, are they parked in front of a garage while owners cars are in the garage?

Your issue appears to be the parking of cars outside all garages blocking your access to your garage. That's where you need to start. Can you tell the neighbours they are blocking your access and ask them to stop? The fact the last garage is empty is just helping you get around the issues but I think the bigger issue needs tackling here?

Thank you @SnarkyBag for understanding what i am trying to explain. I have real trouble explaining myself, always been a problem.
Yes I could park in front of the empty garage but I worry that I’m them saying it’s ok to park there because I’m doing it.

When you drive out in the morning, do you drive straight out or do you need to go into space 1 and reverse out? If you can drive out, you can drive in.

Thank you @SpongeCakeAddict - I don’t mind people telling me iabu (even though this isn’t AIBU!) if they’ve understood the issue

Could you reverse all the way to your garage or is there not enough space? Because if it's impossible without using the space in front of garage 1 then I would be bringing the parking in front of the garages up with the management company or at a residents' meeting.

Sorry this thread is moving faster than I can keep up with.
Yes I can drive straight out because I’ve reversed in. If I’d parked nose in I wouldn’t easily drive out, no, because of trying to wiggle out between n2 car and the fence.

Yes, I could ask n2 and 3 to not park in front of their garages but that would inconvenience them.

I have a friend whose space in an underground car park with loads of pillars was pretty much in the far corner from the entrance and exit ramp. It wasn't easy, but literally the only way to park up and be able to get out without relying on there being empty spaces was three long reverse manoeuvres around the car park.

How do neighbours 2 and 3 manage?
