There is one aspect to this that you should know. Sometimes farmers have very good reasons for keeping their roads private.

I was driving one of those on such a private road one time pulling tandem harrows en route to a field traveling around twenty five mph with altogether about seventy five thousand lbs of metal. I was observant but not concerned as I approached a crossroads because I was about four miles from the nearest public road. Two kids on a four wheeler shot across the intersection in front of me but so close as to be completely below my line of sight. That means within twenty feet of those front tires.
It is a blind intersection and the tractor completely fills the road. I only saw them while I was in the intersection and able to look down the crossing road. Consider their odds of survival if I had been driving a tenth of a mph faster.
Ehm well when I said at high speed I didn't mean cars, [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/laugh.png[/img]/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title="xD" width="20" /> mountain bicycles which can go quite fast in the downhills up to 30kph, but cars are actually not allowed in private roads; however hikers and cyclists are; and they can really appear from nowhere, sometimes in your yard, I have well gone through lots of people backyards because for some reason the path go through their yards, and then you are like... waat... why does this path goes through their yard?...
Wait do you have that machine? oh god... that's huge, what for?...
