You shouldn't have to call him to open the gate or be dependent on his presence to have access to your property. He still owns the property and can exclude others, as it is likely written as an easement only to access your property for those you have permitted to do so.

Land use issue:there is a road easement through my neighbors property to access

It might not even be targeting you. I wouldn't assume adversarial intent.

He is not targeting me at all. He just doesn’t want traffic but he’s stopping

An easement isn't blanket access to his property by whomever.

ReyOso

Right. My contention is the signs can greatly confuse people from accessing

idacoug

Understood. That might be tricky, and call for some finesse.

ReyOso

That's a win/win in my book

Is the easement recorded? And what is the state of the road - paved, dirt?

7/15/21 4:14pm

Yes. It’s recorded at the county. It’s a gravel/dirt road.

The road easement is the only access to my property. Yes…there will be traffic

Get the recorded docs for the easement. The language should tell you what

Do you have a copy of the easement? If so, keep a hard copy on you just in case

P.S. it isn't illegal for him to post signs or a gate. He has the right to keep

I’d just straight ask for keys to the gate. In a nice neighborly way.
