Why cant I park in front of my double gate?
A. You can if its a part of your driveway and has a paved surface. The main purpose of a double gate is for access to the rear yard. Installing a gate cannot be a ploy or maneuver to increase front yard parking. In most cases driveways are limited to a width of 27 feet or no more then 1/3 of the yard frontage. With or without the gate, parking off a paved surface in the front is not permitted.
