There's more to this question than meets the eye. To prevent anyone from entering your residence drive you may install a gate or fence (if allowed by local zoning ordnance) or post a 'no trespassing' sign at the edge of your property.
If you are a business and maintain a driveway and/or parking lot for your customers, to keep non-customers from using it or parking there you should post a clearly visible sign warning against unauthorized usage.
If 'your' driveway is also a legally permissible access (i.e.: right-of-way) to someone else's property, or you share a driveway with another party, you cannot prohibit their usage of it.
When entering a street from a private alley or driveway, you must:
You must STOP - look both ways to make sure it is safe and exit the alley or driveway slowly to prevent from hitting pedestrians.
yes
No
You must STOP - look both ways to make sure it is safe and exit the alley or driveway slowly to prevent from hitting pedestrians.
Yes. Driveways and private roads are a yield rather than a stop.
It is the person who is blocking the private driveway's fault because they should have known not to park in front of a private driveway in the first place. However, if the private driveway is not marked with a sign of some sort to let people know that it is private, it may be the driveway owner's fault.
No. You can still be ticketed for failure to stop.
When entering a street or highway from an alley, parking lot, private driveway, or private road, you should first come to a complete stop and yield to any oncoming traffic or pedestrians. Ensure that the roadway is clear before proceeding to merge safely. Always check your mirrors and blind spots to avoid potential collisions. Finally, signal your intent to merge or turn to alert other drivers.
In the UK it can, if the driveway is private property.
Yes, you must yield to trafic already on the road.
If the driveway is on private property then in most states it is considered private property. Though laws differ still per state on this.
