She has posted signs, she's put up orange & white barriers, and still people go around them and drive up her driveway. Better link: http://www.nj.com/business/

  Thanks for the better link. It sheds more light on the story. I failed to make my point clear. I guess what I took umbrage with is the lack of imagination with which the homeowner tried to solve the problem. You can react negatively to a situation or positively. From the story it appears they reacted negatively, which didn't work. "No Trespassing" is completely unhelpful and hostile. "Google Maps is wrong" is better because it at least touches on how the lost driver arrived at their driveway. Then it offers no additional information so the driver sticks with plan A -- follow Google Maps. The story doesn't say how the homeowner treats the lost drivers either. Maybe she yells "Get off my property !$#@!%&*^$". That would garner a few negative responses for sure. It's a hole in the story. I Googled "Round Valley Reservoir" like the story suggests and got the reservoir, in the water. So I guess her opportunity is now lost.
