How to Stop Unauthorized Use of My Driveway

They're simply NOT going to print a downed sign for this sort of a call.

Seriously.

I think some people watch entirely too much TV. I'd be mad as hell if my local PD wasted time dusting for prints on a sign.

I would like to see an answer to jk's questions. If OP's driveway is a 1/4 mile long and it just happens to lead to both the OP house and the neighboring residence it makes me think there is some type of boundary issue.

I would like to see an answer to jk's questions but would also like to know WHY the neighbor is using someone else's driveway when the neighbor has one of their own.

If there is no easement I would be tempted to install a gate with a lock.

OK. Since the police can lie in interrogations, then perhaps the police can tell the neighbor that his prints were found on the sign. Perhaps the neighbor will be scared into confessing.

I'm sure it could work if the neighbor was stupid enough to believe that the police would waste thousands of dollars and manpower to print for something that were so petty.

My drive goes by his property and he has opened up an access. He has no easement, his drive is 300ft north, but mine is closer to his front door.

Put up a gate with a lock. Problem solved.

yes, that helps a lot.



so, start with sending him a certified letter telling him he is not allowed on your land and any entry would be considered a trespass.

Post another sign (make it a cheap one since it appears he will likely destroy it anyway). Take pictures of the sign in place.

always carry a camera with you. Take pictures of any time you see him on yuor land. Take pictures of any obvious signs he is using your land, especially if it leads to his land.

call the police any time you see him on the property and seek to file trespassing charges.


I would consider installing a section of fence to block his current pathway. Again, document everything with photos.


If you can, a mounted camera would be good. Possible a hidden hunter's camera. If you are really into high tech you can use a camera that transmits to an offsite location. That way if he destroys the camera you have actual proof of it.

Place some large rocks/boulders on the side that is in question. This will block his entrance way to his land.

Rocks/boulders are usually free when excavation is needed to clear land. Sometimes they will even deliver them for free if you're within a certain mileage range.
