    Unhappy Hours Of Access To A Driveway Easement

    When we bought our second home last September we found out that there is a driveway easement with the winery next door. We were told that the easement first came about because the winery did not have a driveway and that now that they have their own driveway, they shouldn't need to use ours. We have just completed renovations on the house and stayed overnight for the first time last Sunday.. When we went out Monday morning there was a note on our car asking us not to park in the "shared" driveway. The next day there were signs posted at the end of the driveway saying to keep the driveway clear. There is no other place to park cars unless we park on the front lawn. Does a driveway easement mean that they must have access 24/7 and we can never park cars there? This does not seem right since we own the driveway. Please advise.

    unless the grant states otherwise; yes

    It sounds like the drive may be needed for fire and emergency access. Whatever, you cannot block the easement.
