...sion. It's a cul de Sac. This was agreed when we purchased our property, and have a great relationship with the family. I am trying to find out if our road is classied as public road. The council have been no help. Any ideas who I approach to find out.  We have been instructed not to park there by the community, after parking  there for 22 years??   To all  of the property owners. There has never been a problem for emergency services to get in our out. The management company has issued this notice.  They suggest we park on a main road.   Any feedback would be very welcome. Thank you.

Your president and/or administrators will be able to tell you if the road belongs to the community and you will be responsible for its upkeep. Has there never been any mention of things like lighting , weed removal etc at  the annual AGM.  However as  you say you live on a gated co...

...mmunity I would have thought that the upkeep of the roads was the responsibility of your community, hence the roads will be privately owned. 

It sounds as though this decision was made and voted on at the last AGM. If you didn’t attend then speak to your president for further clarification, if you have been issued with a notification from the administrators then this should include the minutes of the AGM which should  minute the details of the decision.  If your property is outside the “cul de sac” I would have thought that the property owners on that road would have specified bays for parking.
On my community we have a private Calle a cul de sac and the 20 houses on that road all have their own designated space, plus a couple of visitors spaces. If they have more than one vehicle and don’t have the room to park  the second vehicle inside their own property, then they have to park on the main road.  But the discussion over this road usually lasts for around an hour at every AGM, when you factor in the discussion about lighting, water leaks, weed killing etc  as well as the parking situation. Surely as you lived at the property for so long, you must have partaken in discussions about this road, as it must have cropped up in previous AGM’s

Applying for a Vado outside your property, means that no one can park on that space, yourself included. It enables you to cross it to park your vehicle inside your own property,  this is arranged via the ayuntamiento with fees for dropped kerbs and signage  plus an annual fee. It seems unlikely you can apply for this on a private road
