Real Property

ABC Blocks

A road or driveway on privately owned property, limited to the use of the owner or a group of owners who share the use and maintain the road without help from a government agency. a private road has not been given to a government entity (like a county or city) and accepted by that entity for public use. some private roads are used by the public, but should be closed off at least once a year to prove that an easement of use is not allowed and to prevent a prescriptive easement (taken by continued use) from arising.
