I think the answer is to put up a gate with keypad and just provide the code to the landowner that has right of way. expensive but 100% effective.

Even a gate with just a rope latch would give most people pause.

  You'd need to get cooperation from the other folks using the road that they'd replace the rope after driving through.

    You'd need more cooperation to put a pin-code activated electronic gate up.

      But at least the gate would automatically close once they went through.

        Just need a gate that exerts tension when it's opened, so it'll drift back to closed if someone forgets. I've crossed a lot of back-country gates, never seen a wild breakdown of the system.

        Yes, that's exactly what I was talking about. You can't do that with a rope.

  Or even a "private property, no trespassing" sign.

    Maybe just a dead end sign even.

    People where I live are illegaly putting such signs up even if the road is public to limit trafic near their homes. I just ignore those.

The right answer is for the near-trillion dollar company to stop calling what is not a road a road I'd think rather than a rural landowner to have to go thru the expense of putting up a gate!

  Maps have had errors since the dawn of them, yes, even the land registry isn't always right, and yes, even state as a whole sometimes can't agree on their border (i.e. France and Monte Bianco) The right answer is for users not to be brainlessly following whatever their corpo device tells them to be the truth.

The answer is to put the burden of cost on the victim?

  Grandparent poster should've called it a workaround.. yeah the solution is to pester Google to fix their procedures, but how much time are you willing to invest on a war that you might not even win?

That could work only if the city ordinance allowed it. If not, they can request a variance hearing with the city officials to explain them the situation and (hopefully) get approved.
