You should learn to let this go. How often is it occurring? Twice a day? Twenty times? I think you are over escalating this as a problem and letting it anger you unnecessarily.

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?

What about when the homeowner needs to come and go? Are you going to move then bike, back out of the driveway, throw the hazard lights on, get out, replace the bike, then go back to the car and drive away? Do you hear yourself?

Apparently people kept thinking that street cut through to River Road, then once they realized it didn’t would use that driveway to turn around.

Our second house is in a similar situation, but at the end of an L-shaped cul-de-sac so it isn't obvious that the end of the street is the end until it's too late. It got really bad in the years after the pandemic. We live one streets away from a state park with mountain/snow access but connections are bad in the area, so people's GPS readings often lagged. It took us a while to realize that people were turning onto our street thinking they were at the state park entrance.

We put a lot of cones out in the street if the kids are out playing and let our scary dog stand on the balcony. There isn't much else you can do. Even when I warned them, there were still people who would just park and try to walk through people's yards (they'd give up because the snow was too deep).

Our regular house is at a true dead end, and no amount of signage or dead end signs or reflectors will convince people that it is indeed a dead end until they're inches from the end of the street.

Just leave a bike in the middle of the driveway down at the end.

Same thing happens at our house. I cared because of the safety of my kid. People turning around are not looking. We put orange cones out and my neighbor ran over them.

That’s a good idea!

No, OP cannot do that. It would ruin her driveway asphalt!

HAHAHA!

Why would anyone want to block their own driveway? I don’t even like waiting for my garage door to open - can’t imagine needing to get out and move whatever I put in place to block the driveway.

Hope all you people against using the driveway never ever turn around and do the same thing to others.

I have people use my driveway and it does not bother me at all. Muliple times a day. Who cares.

Move to an island if you don't like it
