Move Team dispatched to take 777-300 from Gate XX to the hard stand. Upon arriving to the gate they saw that when you put the 777-300 on Gate XX the entire tail of the aircraft hangs over the VSR (Vehicle Service Road) and anyone driving has to break the company policy and drive under the aircraft or go around and drive into the active taxiway; both of which are against company's SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) and city driving regulations. I know there has been a SRA (Safety Risk Assessment) done on this ongoing problem and they have decided to take the risk rather than move the aircraft to a gate that can accommodate it.
The 777-300 aircraft parked at ZZZ on Gate XX places the tail beyond the VSR (Vehicle Service Road). When this aircraft type is positioned on this gate it leave the drivers of GSE (Ground Service Equipment) two options: to drive equipment directly under the aircraft; [or] leave the VSR and enter the alley where aircraft are actively taxi or under tow.
Ground personnel reported that 777-300 aircraft extends over vehicle service road when parked at gate.
