Q: Can I park my car in front of my own driveway? My car is not cross the walkway and not blocking the street.
A:
New Jersey Rev Stat § 39:4-138.3 (2013)
Parking in front of driveway permitted; conditions
Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S.39:4-138 to the contrary, any municipality may, by ordinance, permit the parking of motor vehicles in front of private driveways whenever both the motor vehicle and driveway involved are owned by the same person, whenever the motor vehicle is owned by a member of the same household as the owner of the private driveway, or whenever the owner of the private driveway authorizes the parking of a motor vehicle in front of the private driveway; and where such parking is not otherwise prohibited and the permitting thereof would not interfere with the normal flow of traffic.

A: The answer depends on whether your local Town prohibits this, as many do.

A: You should inform the police department that it's what you intend to do to avoid misunderstandings. Assuming you're not known to them I can't imagine they will give you a hard time. However, if your neighbors complain for any reason then you'll have to go to the town about this.
