It's not a problem with their driveways. It's a geographic problem, really, with lakefront houses in the 100-400ft strip between an arterial road and the lake. The other side is a steep hill, so you can't make more room, and the main road has to wind a bunch. You don't have the room to put in collection streets and make controlled intersections, so you basically just have to make them wait for a gap and pull out.

And as with pretty much any community that has that much value in their house, they're huge NIMBYs.
