Hello everyone,
Here is the situation: The house was newly built four years ago. However, the city has not yet constructed a sidewalk and is currently catching up on this. Now, it is suddenly planned to install a streetlight in front of my carport (albeit at the edge).
A brief explanation of the diagram: Green = street. Teal = an example of a mid-sized car. Yellow = the newly planned sidewalk. Orange = the newly planned streetlight. Blue = driveway to the carport (I extended it for clarity, all to scale and proportion).
Is there a regional regulation (NRW) that governs this situation given the angle xyz and a single-lane roadway? In my opinion, the streetlight is a design error that complicates or obstructs my driveway access to the carport.
Best regards

I was almost going to say: look at it positively – they even bricked up the neighbor’s garden gate...

In the meantime, I have been looking into turning radius and have placed a template found online (see additional photo).

So I’m curious to see if they really move it.
