[OSM-talk] some mapping questions

[Barnett, Phillip]

What do you guys do with all the roads marked 'PRIVATE ROAD' or 'no
turning' or 'we will shoot you'? I've been going down all of them and
havn't been challenged. Perhaps NickW or someone who knows about rights
of way can comment from that angle too?

If the road is genuinely private property, and there is no public right
of access to it, then you are trespassing. The owner, or a
representative of the owner, can ask you to leave immediately. You are
then obliged to leave, by the shortest obvious route (though not
necessarily by the way you came)
If you don't leave, they can launch a civil action for trespass, if they
know your name, ie, sue you for damages.
This never happens.
