Is it legal for residential owners to install road gates at their own expense?

Legal analysis: illegal. Residential roads belong to all owners, and no one or unit may park vehicles on the roads. Individual owners do not have this right and need the approval of the owners' meeting.

Legal basis: In the Property Management Regulations, the owners' meeting was established in the first property management area in Kujou Hajime. The division of property management areas should consider facilities and equipment, building scale, community construction and other factors. Specific measures shall be formulated by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.
