The answer all depends on the language used when the shared driveway was created and state laws. It also depends on where exactly she is providing access, over the driveway easement or on her own land. If the land involved was specifically dedicated to a "shared driveway" to be shared by the owners of the abutting properties then she has no right to put the land to another use. You should consult with the attorney who represented you when you purchased the property. Shared driveway easements are an unending source of trouble when one or both owners overstep their rights. You need to check the language in the deeds and determine what state laws govern the easement. For that you need expert legal advice. You should act ASAP.

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.

Is it illegal to park across the street from a driveway?

If you're parking in their property e.g.: Their own driveway, garage, or a designated area which is part of their property, then yes most likely it's trespassing when you park there. However, if you park at a street which is a public street, then the only restrictions that apply are those of the local government (the state, city, town .. etc). Someone doesn't have any legal support to ask someone to not park at a public parking because it's in front of there house. Out of courtesy, however, most people don't do it. But, again, it's totally legal and as long as it's public parking (street) you can park wherever you want following the rules of parking set by the government.
