Full question:
I live on a one way street. A basketball hoop is on curb of the property of a neighbor which not only takes away a parking space on the street as kids play sometimes 5-7 hours a day (into the evening 10 pm) and the bouncing ball constantly is a nuisance too. What are Pennsylvania laws concerning these portable basketball hoops and their use on a public street?

- State: Pennsylvania
Answer:
Pennsylvania state statutes do not specifically address the use of basketball hoops on public streets. For local regulations, it's best to contact your local police department, as traffic laws and parking rules can vary by area.
According to Pennsylvania law (75 Pa.C.S.A. § 6109), local authorities have the power to regulate stopping, standing, and parking on streets. They can also enforce traffic regulations and manage the use of public roadways. If the basketball hoop is causing a parking issue or safety concern, local authorities may be able to take action based on their ordinances.
For more information on local regulations, consider reaching out to your local government or police department.
