shared driveway

Neighbors' common lane

A shared driveway is a single driveway that serves multiple properties, typically where neighbors have legal rights to use the same paved path to access their respective homes or garages.

Shared driveways are common in dense suburban areas or where lots were subdivided, and they often come with easements or maintenance agreements: The deed specifies that both houses have equal rights to the shared driveway.
