Heading: The Meaning of Ingress and Egress

Text: In the context of these residential properties sharing a common driveway, that have no other access to their homes than through that driveway, we conclude as a matter of law that reasonable use and enjoyment. . . for purposes of ingress and egress includes temporarily detaining a vehicle within that driveway for the purposes of loading and unloading people and parcels. See id. We note that the temporary use we have described as within permissible ingress and egress is not considered parking under District of Columbia law. See 18 DCMR § 9901 (1995) (defining park or parking as the standing of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, other than temporarily for the purpose of, and while actually engaged in, loading or unloading merchandise or passengers ) (emphasis added).
