Thread: A question about Private Property

So I have to ask you guys for an opinion as this has been an on going pet peeve of the wife and I for a couple of years now...

We live at the end of a Private Road, in fact we actually own the road everyone else just has access and an agreement to help with upkeep..
To set the stage the road is just shy of 1 mile long, there are only 5 homes on the road, the once you pass my nearest neightbor who is just shy of 1/2 mile down the road there is nothing until you cross onto my property which is where we have these signs...
As you drive past the signs and around the corner the land is clearly marked as Private Property, No Trespassing on both sides of the road..

My question is, You are coming down the road, there is a clear turnaround right before the signs that I maintain year round, is there something I am missing here that says "Come on in" ????
Just wondering if I am somehow reading my signs wrong here ????







Keep in mind my actual "driveway" is another 1/4 mile down the road, and you have to go by 2 more No Trespassing signs to get in there, yet people drive right on in, when I have stopped them and asked the simple question, "What part of No Trespassing, Private Property, Private Road, is confusing to you" I have got a few different responses, but most fall in the "I didn't think it meant me" category...

Thinking of spending the money for some 4x4 posts and Metal signs with a section of split rail fence to either side of the road, hoping that might work, we don't want to have to put a gate there if at all possible as they get in the way during the winter...


Do you think I am fighting a uphill battle against ignorance here ????
