Okay, so “don’t pile snow in the street” doesn’t include parking areas, just through traffic areas?

I think it means like, don’t block the road, areas to walk and parking spots.

Last winter I put some of it on top of the pile the plow had already made. It was technically on the street, but between a street parking spot and driveway entrance. You can pile it up against/next to public trees if you have any, or between the sidewalk and street parking, as long as pedestrians can get by and it doesn't touch any parked cars.

Correct, but keep in mind "as long as pedestrians can get by" means wide enough for a stroller/wheelchair, not just boots.

On a standard sized sidewalk that means like 60% of it's width should be clear, and you can push snow to the 20% along each edge.

Nothing worse than trying to get a stroller down the sidewalk when one tire is up on top of somebody's snowpiles.

Correct. During bigger storm, piling more snow on top of the banks the plows made is usually a safe bet.
