What It Looks Like
- Equipment, materials, or a closure blocking a driveway or building entrance with no temporary access provided.
Why It Happens
- Access was not planned for the affected property, or the work spread into the access point.
Why It Matters
- It cuts off residents and businesses and can block emergency access — a frequent source of complaints and risk.
How It Is Identified

How It Is Corrected

How It Can Be Prevented Upstream
- Plan access maintenance for each affected property and coordinate in advance.
