Easement and agreement between two properties for a right of way and restrictions for use, access and maintenance of a driveway and parking lot.
An easement gives one party the right to go onto another party's property. That property may be owned by a private person, a business entity, or a group of owners. Utilities often get easements that allow them to run pipes or phone lines beneath private property. Easements may be obtained for access to another property, called "access and egress", use of spring water, entry to make repairs on a fence or slide area, drive cattle across and other uses. The easement is a real property interest, but separate from the legal title of the owner of the underlying land.
In the case of a driveway easement, it allows the person who is the beneficiary of the easement to cross the "servient" property. The land which receives the benefit of the easement is called the "dominant" property or estate. A driveway easement may be created by recording a deed that states, for example, that one neighbor owns the driveway to the halfway point, but has an easement or right of way to use the remainder; however, the adjoining home owns the other half of the driveway, with a right-of-way with respect to the portion the neighbor owns. An easement may be claimed by prescription for the use of the driveway. This requires proof that your neighbor willingly abandoned his use of the driveway during the adverse period when you and your predecessor in title enjoyed the exclusive use of the driveway. Easements should describe the extent of the use, as well as the easement location and boundaries. For example, if an easement is created for the driveway for one house, the owner of the easement cannot turn his house into a hotel with many cars travelling over the easement if the easement was intended for use by a single family.

FAQ
(2) The landowner shall continue to be solely responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the restricted land, to the extent it may be required by law. The PACE board and the Commonwealth shall have no obligation for the upkeep or maintenance of the restricted land.
As a property owner, you may not interfere with the purpose of a legal easement. If, for example, the electric company has wires strung across its right of way, you cannot take them down or block their path.
Easements may be extinguished by abandonment. Abandonment takes place whenever cessation of use occurs accompanied by a clear intent never to use the easement again. Mere nonuse does not constitute aban- donment. However, the intent may be inferred from the circumstances if such evidence is clear and definite.
In summary, the key to avoiding prescriptive easements being established is to obstruct the third party's use of the right as soon as possible and make it clear that the land is private through the use of signs or notices at the very least.
If the easement is a problem, it is possible to have them removed in extreme cases. There are eight legal ways to terminate an easement: abandonment, merger, end of necessity, demolition, recording act, condemnation, adverse possession, and release, which a solicitor can give further advice if needed.
