A. No vehicle shall at any time be parked upon any public thoroughfare, including any street, highway, vehicularway, pedestrianway or other thoroughfare in such a manner as to prevent the free and uninterrupted use of the thoroughfare by other vehicles and pedestrians, or of any driveway belonging to or rightfully used by any person other than the person to whom the vehicle belongs.
