Gate Zapper

    A friend of mine owns a car and is living in student accommodation in Dun Leary, next to the college campus. The complex consists of two houses, each containing 4 or five bedrooms and adequate room for vehicles.

    The gates to the complex are situated on a main road, and in order to enter, the driver must exit the car (given that it is the main raid, and there is no place to temporarily park the car, it must stay in the middle of traffic) and type in the security code on a terminal next to the gate. Then return to the car and drive in.

    This is particularly hazardous to the driver of the car in question as well as to other road users, yet the proprietors of the grounds refuse to give any of the residents buzzers from which to open the gates remotely, thus increasing safety of the driver of road users in the vicinity.

    As far as I am aware there is no express agreement as to parking arrangements and therefore no price being paid.

    Nevertheless, is the proprietor under any obligation to provide the buzzer to the car parking spaces on the grounds of safety or on any other basis?

    Your friend appears to be committing the offence of obstructing traffic. If he was given a code to access the development, it would imply that it is intended that he has parking facilities. A contract cannot be carried out by illegal means. Your friend should cease the practice of stopping in traffic until he gets remote access.
