Legal Assistance for Parking Problems

Questioner

We have a private parking lot at our apartment complex, suitable for approximately 40 cars. We can reach our parking lot from the public road. Next to us is a supermarket with its own parking lot. Now the supermarket wants to install a barrier on the public section of the access road, approximately two meters before the entrance to our parking lot. The intention is that supermarket visitors will only be allowed to park for a short time We will then no longer be able to drive in and out freely. This is a big problem, especially for our visitors. Is this all allowed? i

Of course, someone (including a supermarket) is not allowed to block a public road or part of it. Presumably, things are different, for example, the residents of the apartment complex may have the right of way over the supermarket's land, or vice versa. Other situations are also conceivable. It's important to first determine the precise ownership structure. Then, it might be easier to assess what rights the supermarket actually has.
