As one who has received tickets for parking in my driveway in L.A. here's what I know.

You cannot block any part of the sidewalk. It used to be 33% but that's not the case any longer.

You can park in your driveway but if the slightest bit of the bumper is in the sidewalk they'll nail you.

And smile while doing it.

What are the laws on parking on a public street blocking driveway access in Cincinnati Ohio?

I have had cars towed for blocking my driveway. It is the city's responsibility to tow cars that are on a public road that block driveways. If someone blocks your driveway, don't call 911. Call your district police station and either they will put the call out or will direct you to the correct number. It may take up to two hours to get a tow truck to your place. However, if someone parks in your driveway, I think it's your responsibility to get someone to tow that car.

In Howard County, Maryland, it is illegal to park on a public street in a way that blocks driveway access. The county code states that vehicles must not obstruct driveways, and doing so can result in a fine and/or towing of the vehicle. It is important to respect the rights of private property owners and ensure that access to their driveways is unobstructed.

Yes you can, just by parking your vehicle at the end of the driveway where the strangers are unable to pull their vehicle onto your driveway.

Can a cop give you a ticket in a private parking lot for going the wrong way?

Defining private parking lot is the question here... The jurisdiction extends if the parking lot is regarded as a public access way... i.e. a mall, a hotel driveway, restaurant parking lot. A true private parking lot is a lot where access is limited by invitation or a private residence.

Are police able to make traffic stop in driveway?

Yes. Being on private property does not insulate you from law enforcement. If police observe something that warrants a traffic stop, they can make it regardless of whether you are in your driveway, a private parking lot, or a public street. There are some limits to what police can observe on private property, but these generally don't come up in a traffic situation, because it is normally a case where they can see from the public road or the offense occurred on the public road.
