I used to park on a residential road when I worked nearby and a couple of the residents found this intensely annoying even though there was plenty more parking. I have no idea why, I just suspect they were very territorial and frankly had nothing better to do with their time. I constantly had notes on my windscreen when I got to my car saying this was a residential street blah blah but one time a note was threatening in nature saying I may find my car damaged if I left it there. At this point I phoned the 101 police line to ask their opinion. They said I had every right to park there and they were in fact breaking the law putting the notes on my car as that was considered to be fly tipping. Just something to consider.

I agree with Ginger Daddy. You need to find offroad parking of your own otherwise all bets are off. Maybe approach the council with a view to a resident's parking scheme if there is enough support but it's a pay option.
I live near two schools, we have resident only parking signs put up by the local housing association - but the "school run" merchants seem unable to read, they take no notice at all of the signs. It seems to take 20 mins - 30 mins for most to deliver their kids too.
Certainly sets the children a bad example too: "It's OK to ignore street signs"

Or hope the Government continues to allow the closure of hospitals until one day we end up with just one mega hospital in the midlands that serves the whole of England.
Don't joke - that would probably be the Government's plan, given half a chance!

Is it a private road? If not, the signs are meaningless.

Public road, yes I know & so do the school runners I guess.

Could put a note on her car saying 'any chance you can use the overflow car park?' or something.

Ha, you really think that will work?

Even if she did park in the overflow car park, the space she would vacate would soon be taken up by somebody else, so the OP (who seems to have abandoned their thread) still wouldn't be able to park outside their house.
