Second to last house on cul de sac and people keep pulling in our driveway to turn around - how to stop them?

Your husband has a few girlfriends on the side. They turnaround when they see you home.

Seriously just park your car at end of driveway problem solved

+1. Stay the f**k off my property. It's not a hard concept. I'd start with a sign and I'd progress to the spikes if it didn't stop.

It's a driveway. People use driveways for turnarounds. You're in the wrong on this.

NP. It's private property. You're not supposed to trespass. I'd you need to turn around, do it on the street.

This is incorrect. Emergency vehicles must have access to a driveway. And others may use a driveway.

Citation?

OP, use cones or a gate. There are remote gates, so you can just keep the remote in the car with you. Done and done.

Look it up according to your jurisdiction. Driveways are considered private property except for exceptions.

OP can build a gate and keep it closed. Or she can accept that living in the world includes other people.

You can block your driveway in VA. You cannot block the road in front of a private driveway. Some local jurisdictions in VA say you cannot block the apron if a sidewalk cross the apron, but can block the other side of the apron.

The apron, including the sidewalk, is public property. The driveway is private but using a driveway is not considered trespass in Virginia, unless a sign is posted.

Not according to the nutter PP constantly posting that you cannot block your driveway. And that everyone should “look it up”.

LOL. Right? WTAF? OP, park your car at the end of the drive or use cones. People are lazy, cones will dissuade them. If not, escalate to the gate. Totally worth it. Why are people entiteld to others property, is the real question?

If you block the sidewalk with your car, your neighbors can call the police and you'll get cited for blocking the sidewalk.

Who said anything about blocking a sidewalk?

My neighbor put a chain across his driveway. It's just a small black chain attached to two posts on either side.

People bought a house on my block that has a long driveway in front to garage behind house plus driveway from the alley. They put up a swinging gate in front. I was puzzled until their close neighbor told me there were drivers who would cut through to the alley from the front using their driveway. The gate is on the house side of the sidewalk (no fence or wall, just gate) Will HOA allow? You could probably get an automated open/close motor. It's just a bar, not like big sliding gates.

Paint a white line on the road tracing a three-point turn from the street up to your neigbor's driveway and back out.

As if any of them know *anything* about asphalt. Hilarious.

This whole site has become an outlet for these biotches to offer their "valuable" opinions and assumptions. It's a shame because this used to be a relatively nice place.

Because this is dcum, and most people are narcissistic, self-absorbed takers who only think of themselves. And if you have something they consider useful in their moment of need, then they feel entitled to it.

As happens with everything else, once a certain critical mass of upper middle class busy body white women is achieved, ruination follows.

This site was started by and for upper middle class white women. It's a different demographic that has ruined this site.

DH thinks it’s just positioning and ours appeals to people who want to turn before the end of the road.

With all due respect, it sounds like you have way too much time on your hands and you're home too much if you're able to monitor this. People who work and/or are busy with kids and hobbies aren't home all day literally counting cars using their driveway to turn around.

This is extremely simple to solve, and has already been recommended, but... just put a cone there. That's it!
