Why not just show some respect to your neighbors and not block any of them? What is it your concern if it's legal or not? It's a driveway, put one in at your own house or park in a spot like everyone else.

Know Who is Coming In With a Driveway Alarm?

For anyone with a long driveway or someone who simply wants to know in advance when someone pulls into the driveway, a driveway alert alarm is ideal These alarms are simple to install. The sensor will generally come with a stake that is drive into the ground. This transmits to the receiver in the house that will emit a beep or alarm sound when a vehicle enters the driveway. The placement of the transmitter is important. It should be at the end of the driveway, but not in a location that will be tripped by passing cars.


Who is responsible when backing out of your own private driveway and hit a car parked in front of and obstructing the driveway?

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.
