I can not decide if I should widen the entrance to my drive way when I have a block paved driveway laid. Current width if 1M70Cm which is a little tight when 1 car is already in the drive & we need to pass that car to park the 2nd. Is there a recommend / suggested width?
Thanks for the help.
Driveway Entrance - What size?

The minimum for a typical car is 2.1m, but that is quite tight, allowing only 150mm of clearance either side. Most driveways on new houses are laid to a minimum 2.4m width, and I would take that as a minimum opening width for comfort. However, if you're having work done, then you might as well make life as simple as possible and opt for a 3m opening, it possible, as that gives a good 600mm (2 feet in old money) of clearance on either side of a typical car.
