how far does a trespassing sign need to be from a driveway to be legal?

The laws on this will vary from state to state and may even vary depending on the type of property involved (i.e. residental, commercial, industrial, etc.)

Yes. The roads are goverment property, and a goverment officer (police) can set up a road block if they believe that it will prevent property damage, loss of live, or major injury. It's legal anywhere.

In most states, it would be sufficient to try and open a door or window, but fail (i.e. jiggle a locked door handle), with the intent to commit a felony (theft, etc.) inside.\n\nJust walking in (without felonious intent) is trespass.

What people don't often understand is that a road may be 30' wide, but the right of way can often be more like 60'. They cannot legally widen any road, ditches, etc, beyond the right of way, without your permission-- and you MUST be paid fair market value for the land they take. \n\nI would be willing to bet that the curbs and drainage all fall within the right of way. Have you ever noticed that you can be driving down a road and people's fences will be a good 8 or 10 feet off the shoulder? It's because they can only build up to the right of way, not to the road.\n\nHowever, if they are parking in your lawn-- and it sounds like this would be beyond even where the curbing/drainage is, they MUST pay you for the 'temporary use as a staging area" to use your lawn, and they MUST return your lawn to the same or better condition that it was in before they arrived.

Nope. Not at all. That's trespassing. Feel free to call the police. No warning is necessary.

Law is on there side if they are using "right-of-way".  It doesn't matter how wide the road was or will be...the county has right-a-way at least 10 feet on either side of the road (more or less depending on the jurisdiction). \n\nTo answer your question about payment, however, if there is not anything in the statutes already to provide for payment, they do not have to pay you.  All they have to argue is that the trees are within the right of way and claim public safety as the justifiable cause to remove the trees...sorry, but I have been down this road myself and you are in a no-win deal if the county has already made up it's mind to start cutting....the best you can do is see if they will allow and assist in moving the trees further back on to the property.  You have a better chance of that then stopping the cutting.  And it is the same soil so the trees should survive better.

Try contacting your state Department of Transportation office or your local Department of Motor Vehicles.  They'll have a list a requirements the vehicle must meet to be legal.  Good luck!\n\nhttp://www.fhwa.dot.gov/webstate.htm\nhttp://www.dmv.org/

parking lots are private property so there has to be a sign posted saying that the property owner has allowed the police to patrol the parking lot.  If there is noting like that there is nothing that they can do to you unless you were pulling on to a city street, at least that is the law in CA

You need to post no hunting signs, no trespassing signs will work but the trespassors will only be charges with trespassing, if you have no hunting signs I believe the charges are tuffer. \n\nPost the  yellow no hunting signs clearly on your property line and it should keep them out. \n\nYou could go find where they are parking and get the plate number and call it into the police. Have the police come to your property and catch them if they run they can have a backup unit waiting at their cars to arrest them. If it is after dark and you live in texes just shoot them, lol

Work with your attorney.  Yes you have to give it to them, but the law specifies how large it has to be usually 15 or 20 feet and where it is located.  Doesn't have to be where most convenient, just has to be one.  This is assuming the property owner has no other means no matter how difficult to reach his property except by crossing your land.

Most states have a no posted signs speed limit. In most states, this is usually somewhere between 25 to 35 miles per hour on roads and 10 to 20 mph in alleys. If you were driving on one of those, the answer to your question is no.\n\nIf you were driving on a road that has signs and those signs are within the maximum distance apart allowed, the answer to your question is no.

In common law, trespass is going on land when you have no permission from the owner. Generally, in statutes, they also include as a trespass if you went on land as an invitee or licensee, and remained after being asked to leave.\n\nAccording to North Carolina criminal stautes, there's a few different types of trespass. There's also other related statutes, such as the requirements for posting on land that I left out. The ones that are included are trespass with an all-terrain vehicle, trespass for hunting, and first and second degree trespass.\n\n§ 14‑159.3.  Trespass to land on motorized all terrain vehicle.\n(a)       No person shall operate any motorized all terrain vehicle:\n(1)       On any private property not owned by the operator, without the consent of the owner; or\n(2)       Within the banks of any stream or waterway, but excluding a sound or the Atlantic Ocean, the adjacent lands of which are not owned by the operator, without the consent of the owner or outside the restrictions imposed by the owner.\n(b)       A "motorized all terrain vehicle", as used in this section, is a two or more wheeled vehicle designed for recreational off‑road use.\n(c)       A violation of this section shall be a Class 2 misdemeanor. (1997‑456, s. 56.8; 1997‑487, s. 1.)\n\n§ 14‑159.6.  Trespass for purposes of hunting, etc., without written consent a misdemeanor.\n(a)       Any person who willfully goes on the land, waters, ponds, or a legally established waterfowl blind of another upon which notices, signs or posters prohibiting hunting, fishing or trapping have been placed in accordance with the provisions of G.S. 14‑159.7, or upon which "posted" notices have been placed in accordance with the provisions of G.S. 14‑159.7, to hunt, fish or trap without the written consent of the owner or his agent shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor. Provided, further, that no arrests under authority of this subsection shall be made without the consent of the owner or owners of said land, or their duly authorized agents in the following counties: Halifax and Warren.\n(b)       Any person who willfully goes on the land of another upon which notices, signs, or posters prohibiting raking or removing pine needles or pine straw have been placed in accordance with the provisions of G.S. 14‑159.7, or upon which "posted" notices have been placed in accordance with the provisions of G.S. 14‑159.7, to rake or remove pine needles or pine straw without the written consent of the owner or his agent shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. (1949, c. 887, s. 1; 1953, c. 1226; 1965, c. 1134; 1975, c. 280, s. 1; 1979, c. 830, s. 11; 1991, c. 435, s. 4; 1993, c. 539, s. 99; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c); 1997‑443, s. 19.25(z).)\n\nFirst and Second Degree Trespass Statutes:\n§ 14‑159.11.

First degree trespass.\n(a)       Offense. – A person commits the offense of first degree trespass if, without authorization, he enters or remains:\n(1)       On premises of another so enclosed or secured as to demonstrate clearly an intent to keep out intruders; or\n(2)       In a building of another.\n(b)       Classification. – First degree trespass is a Class 2 misdemeanor.

Please see reference below.\nIf there is no other access to a road, I would say the person will be able to claim right of way by necessity.\nConsulting with a lawyer is a good idea.\nGood luck.

You should be able to find the owner through the courthouse. Also, if it's close enough to the road, it may be on city property, and the city would be responsible. Check to see how far off the road is city property. Here, it's 25 feet from the center of the road. The city came and removed a nuisance tree from "my" property by my pointing that out to them.

Generally burglary statutes would apply here, but since he doesn't seem to have broken and entered in order to commit a crime, that is actually not illegal. Trespass laws do require notice, but certainly not three times, just the once is enough.

Nope.  It's private property therefore you have to have permission to use it.  Just because it's a parking lot doesn't mean anyone can park in it or park in it long-term.  Generally they have to say they attempted to warn you that you needed to move, a sign does that, but an employee walking out to the car to inform the owner does also (even if the owner is not there the action shows the employee did attempt to inform you that you were no longer entitled to be there).
