How Do I Keep People off My Driveway?

Well, maybe ...

  1. A sign that says: "Private drive, KEEP OUT"
  2. A sprinkler system on a sensor (and timer) that comes on when a car enters the drive. The sprinkler would be "ahead" of the vehicle entering. That would stop them from going forward any further - to avoid getting wet.
  3. A sign that says:

Is it OK to turn around in someone's driveway?

No, they're not illegal. If signed (and some of them here are), they're illegal. The signage doesn't legally prohibit a U-turn. And pulling into someone's driveway just for a moment to make a u-turn, even if you're technically on the property, really isn't trespassing.

  3. Fence. ...
  4. Hedge. ...
  5. Flags.
