Some of the East St houses have their driveway off West St, with just a
person gate actually on East St. Some of them have a driveway on both!

That's what I was thinking would be the best way.

Same with battle-axe blocks when the actual house is well back from the
road, at the end of a long driveway - put the node at the street end of the
