If the road is built on private property, I have a hard time believing that's true. And if the road is on private property, what's to prevent the owners form putting up a gate and becoming a gated community? Or, more practically, putting up No Trespassing signs? Just because private property has a road on it doesn't mean that everyone "has a right" to use the road.
