Responsibility for a public driveway typically falls to the local government or municipality that oversees the roadways and public infrastructure. They are tasked with maintenance, repairs, and ensuring safety for all users. However, property owners adjacent to the driveway may also have some responsibilities, such as keeping the area clear of obstructions and maintaining accessibility. Specific regulations can vary by location, so it's advisable to consult local laws for details.
