An ingress/egress easement consists of the right to enter and depart along aright of way over the property of another. Normally you don't have the rightaccess something, or to install or remove something. Utility companies will askfor these so they can intall, maintain, replace and perhaps remove, their equipment that serves your or your and other peoples' property. If you think about it, the postal service has this kind of easement to deliver the mail. It is provided by law. Then there are "prescriptive" easements where someone has used your property in a certain way for so long they may not be able to stop you used your property in a certain way for so long they may not be able to stop you used your property in a certain way for so long they may not be able to stop you

ingress and egress would imply right to entry and exist . if your society is landlocked and only way into your society is through the adjacent society entry and exit of vehicles cannot be prohibited . you have mentioned that you have court orders wherein ingress and egress is permitted . if in violation of court orders entry / exit of vehicles is being prohibited issue legal notice to adjacent society that they are acting in violation of court orders .

you can also have papers produced in court and your advocate can make application for speaking to the minutes of order .it can be clarified that ingress/egress would include entry and exit of vehicles . if necessary take out another notice of motion in said suit to restrain defendants from obstructing entry / exit of vehicles .
