I live in Tennessee,my Father in Law and I own land in which an easement runs right down the middle of the land,to allow 1 home owner access. This easement is on my side of the deed. And we are not sure if the other home owner even has an prescriptive easement. The county put up a road sign 3+yrs ago with the other owners name on it. I went to the County Highway Dept.They claimed upkeep on the road, grading and gravel etc... (which is not true) for more than 7 yrs,which they say by law if the county upkeeps a road for more than 7 yrs it becomes theirs. Is this possible,is there such a Law? and if so,how can i prove they did no upkeep on this road? Ever since the sign was put up i am now having trouble with lots of traffic,and it gets worse each year,this owner owns land next to the river in which he allows access for people,and clubs to have parties every weekend,sometimes they camp for weeks at a time,there is lots of drinking and speeding cars passing between our homes all hours of the day/night. I have asked him to stop,and asked him and his guest to please drive slow and watch for children(they do not). His reply was they shouldn't be in the road anyways.He now says this is HIS road. I have called the law on the speeding cars but they were no help. I have small kids,also my Mother in laws grandkids are down on weekends,which they are back and forth all day playing. We both own 2 dogs each which have free range,they have almost been hit several times. WHAT CAN I DO??? Thanks
