    Default Re: Closing Off a Private Road

    1. There is a road with gravel. It is listed by the county as a privately maintained road. Anyone can see the lay out of the road edges.

    2. The grass was planted within those road edges. Since the planting the grass has taken hold on both edges of the road and a few spots in the center. Be advised that the neighbors affected by this come up only a couple times a year.

    3. Does the grass prevent them from driving on it. No, but if they do, the police are called out on a trespass complaint. The police have told them that it is part of the road. But, they still call and complaint every time someone crosses the grass or tries to cut down overhanging tree limbs that hang over the road.

    This is a private road with gravel and snow removal. Not just an easement to someones property.

    Thanks for your time (both) for answering.

    You should note that according to the county surveyor, each property owner gives up 33 feet of road frontage (both side) for this road.

    you can't stop them from calling the police. Hopefully the police will grow tired and quit responding. Other than that, use the easement as legally allowed and try to ignore the people trying to close it off.
