FAR better (and often cheaper) to OWN land that adjoins a public roadway than to try getting a deeded easement. An easement ROW gives you no real control over the path...the landowner the easement crosses can decide to gate it, in dozens of times if they wish...remove road gravel, if they wish...You may be able to "stop" the harassment, but enforcing rights in court is VERY expensive! And in my case, we lost.
