A printable flier you leave on a windshield when someone has parked across two spots, blocked an access aisle, or used a handicap spot without a permit. Plus a 50-state research guide for the people distributing it.
Someone left a folded paper on your windshield with parking diagrams on it. You probably want to know what that's about. Six things to know:
Quick context for any inquiry into a "How To Park" flier — whether you are an officer responding to a complaint, or a property owner addressing fliers found on vehicles in your lot.
The flier is what goes on the windshield. The research guide is for you — so you understand the laws around distributing flyers in your state before you start.
A single-page print-ready flier showing what good parking looks like and three things never to do. Color-coded, illustrated, easy to read at a glance.
An 11-page research guide covering state statutes, common municipal ordinances, and risk levels for placing flyers on parked vehicles in every U.S. state plus DC.
Distributing a flier seems harmless. In some states it's a misdemeanor. The research guide tells you where the line is — direct state statutes (NY, FL), major-city ordinances, trespass and littering law, and risk tier per state with practical guidance.
The point of the flier is to inform, not to confront. Print, leave, leave the situation. No name, no contact, no escalation.
Standard Letter, color if possible. Black-and-white still reads. Print a small stack — you'll only need them occasionally.
Tuck under the wiper blade. Don't tape it. Don't fold it into a door jamb. Don't open the vehicle. Skip placement entirely if the windshield is wet from rain or snow — soaked flyers tear, fall off, and become litter you're responsible for.
Don't wait around. Don't film. Don't leave a note with your name. The flier is the entire message. Read the research guide first if you're in NY, FL, or any major metro.
