1. You missed the part where I said as long as I'm abiding by the laws of the folks that govern the road, I should be fine.
2. I don't block the road. If there are headlights, fireworks cease until they pass
3. What does blocking the road have to do with the legality of an HOA trying to enforce a rule outside their jurisdiction? If I'm blocking the road, I would expect that to be a police matter, much like if someone is speeding through the neighborhood.
True, and if those rules have been shown to be enforceable, that may provide the real answer to my original question. That's a similar situation where the HOA magically has authority over something they don't own just because they said so. Doesn't make sense to me, unless there was some other law being broken. Also seems like a lot of work to enforce that. I assume someone has to run the plates to find the owner of the car in order to make it official. Unlikely to be enforced if a car is sitting out for 1 night.
Right, which really forms the basis for my OP. Why is really legal (or more to the point does it hold up in court) for them to arbitrarily say you aren't allowed to do something in a place where they have no ownership.
