If your gates swing out wards then I suggest keep them open towards the road and have a boombarrier with skirt installed inside, it should cost you 1.5 L. The gates can be closed late night by the guard. Hope this helps.

This is not the right solution and application. What you are referring to are bollards which have a different purpose. They are used to stop vehicles which force enter. I say this because we manufacture them. Added to this, they need several other components like 3 phase electricals, hydraulic pumps and reservoirs and huge control panels, a depth of 1.8 Mtrs beneath FFL. Trust me it’s a 1 Cr + investment for set of 4 Bollards and not meant for residential societies. They won’t have the real estate and there are many BMC services running underground.The only society we sold is Indiabulls BLU who could afford .

So you may already know this but in Delhi NCR, people deflate tyres of those who block. Its a bit of an extreme solution, but a large sign post that says no parking. Tyres will be deflated at once, and you are guaranteed to not see any more cars there.

Yes no doubt and basic common sense that we shouldn’t be blocking gates to park our vehicles. I saw a mention of putting traffic cones on what seems like a footpath. Most important thing to remember is, putting traffic cones on the footpath/reserving space on the road in front of your house wall is not on. First come first serve is the standard rule for all public property. It’s for the pedestrians and not private property. I had a homeowner in Jayanagar, Bengaluru ask me to stay away from his BMW X3 parked on the footpath, of all places. I immediately shot back asking him to park inside his house if he wanted to. Caused an argument but stood my ground. Not that I was damaging it, but I have all the right to stand on the footpath. For good measure, took a photo and tagged the responsible authorities on twitter. Seemed like the traffic police did their job the next time I passed by, no X3 there.
Heard paid parking will be operational soon in Bengaluru. ( I doubt the competence of the BBMP in enforcing it), but support it wholeheartedly. Will weed out the menace of double Parkers and the reservation likes.

In Kochi I've seen people call traffic police and they come and stick challans on the car. Apart from having a security guard 24*7 at the gate, I can't think of anything else that might solve this issue permanently.

GTO, how about a sign board at the spot saying " Parking spot reserved for Idiots"

I wouldn't suggest defacing public roads as a remedy because you'll invite wrath of public people eventually and the city corporation might demolish your wall claiming illegal encroachment.

I have a cost effective solution for you. Paint the wall facing your gate with the number "13". See how many people will avoid parking there. You may also add other numbers that put a scare in people like "666" just to be safe.

Any ideas?

Why not hang this on your gate?
