I blocked the road with cones and turned back all members of the public
yesterday, but it was extremely boring, so I can't wait for the signs to
come in. That's for the advice.

Most people said they didn't know it was a private drive, even though there
was one sign saying so at the entrance.

The drive is 18 feet wide so I can make large letters.

I'm thinking of putting down a big "stencil" on the road of something like:
"PRIVATE DRIVE | NO PULIC ACCESS"

Where do you think those stencils would be found?

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to get some sort of small
flashing
light to put by your sign. It might get folks out of the auto pilot mode
some enter while driving.
Do you have an address sign for your place? Maybe something to draw
attention
to that would be worthwhile.

Another suggestion would be an SMV sign used for farm machinery.

I don't understand your question about having an "address sign" for the
place. The drive serves a handful of homes only but there are trails at the
end that a lot of bikers and hikers use that skirt out back behind people's
property (all in private land). Eventually it connects to a public park, so
most of the traffic is people coming from the public park in the opposite
direction of cars which would be going down the road just to 'explore' it
(since it's a dead end of only about 1/2 mile long).

There "is" a standard-looking street sign, put up by the county, at the
junction with the public road and a 30x30 amber rectangle (mounted with the
points up and down and to the side) saying "No Through Traffic".

I was thinking of replacing the No Through Traffic sign with a "No Public
Access" sign, but the back of the sign has a sticker saying it's a county
sign and that it's a criminal offense to remove the sign.

I was picturing a single driveway leading to a single residence.
Farms
and rural residences have addresses similar to what town people have.
It was
set up that way for emergency responders.
Responders using directions from a town could miscount miles,
miss turns,
or whatever else might happen to delay them.

You have trespassers using trails on private property which connect to
county trails? You have a big problem that a mere sign is not going to
solve.

Today, a set of foul-mouthed bikers came up from the county park (it's the
only place they could have come from) about 5 miles away. The county park
has a sign saying that it's an unmaintained trail and that no bikes or
vehicles are allowed, but that's it.

Then, about 3 miles out from that sign, there are at least five to eight
(or so) private owners, none of which are signed, and then the trail comes
to my paved road, which isn't signed at that end.

When they got to my little roadblock they refused to turn back:
http://i.cubeupload.com/9GFo0Q.jpg

They told me I could take my private road and shove it up one of my
anatomical parts. Right in front of my kids, they used foul language, and I
tried to videotape them but my camera was dead so I just faked that I
videotaped them.

They went right past me, and then they called the cops who showed up.

The cops said they used foul language with them and that they said I
knocked them off their bikes (I never touched them) but they couldn't show
the cops any injuries and the cops didn't believe them.

Anyway, the cops said the road doesn't show up as private on their maps (so
I need to fix that somehow) and that section 602L of some California code
says that the no trespassing signs must be at least three to a mile and at
the entrance and exit to trails and roads.

EDIT: Found this:
http://codes.findlaw.com/ca/penal-co...-sect-602.html
http://www.mysecuritysign.com/califo...spassing-signs
http://www.shouselaw.com/trespass.html

The cops said that they'd have a hard time arresting someone for
trespassing because it looks like a county road as it's about 25 feet wide
at the widest and about 18 feet wide at the thinnest and it's well paved
(although not as well as the county roads are).

So, they suggested two things:
a. Don't get in the way of the bikers - just let them pass and call them if
they refuse to get off the land.
b. Put signs up at least to the 602 code for no trespassing signs saying
that only written permission will allow anyone on the land.

I was surprised at the written-permission rule, as even the lawyer I talked
to didn't mention that.

I agree with you that trespassing needs to be stopped even if it existed
prior.

You don't want trespassers if for no other reason that just liability (what
if someone falls and breaks their leg for example).

Also we all have kids. Why would we want unknown trespassers on our lands
at any point in time?

That's a crazy question.
Let's say I bought a house with a leak in the pool or the fence in the
wrong spot.

Am I never supposed to fix that leak or move that fence just because the
house came with the leak and fence?

Huh? Where are you going with that.

All the signs are on my property, and they have been there since the
beginning of time (from my perspective).

The entire property is mine, so, I can change any sign I want that isn't in
the county ROW. But that's not the point because I am expressly asking the
county of they'll put up the required signage for us (I'll let you know if
they agree).

I would suggest you put a gate (sure, there is the cost).

Most bikers and hikers will be there on the weekends. The post office
does not deliver mail on Sundays, so no problem with a gate on Sundays.
You will likely know the approximate time of mail deliveries on
Saturdays, so stake it out and open the gate for the mail carrier. Once
delivered, you can leave the gate closed.

Water over the dam perhaps, but did you consider contacting the county
highway engineer, explaining the problem you're having and asking him to
review and perhaps come up with more appropriate signage?

That has the potential of having the county engineer explain "No, it is
not a private road." Some people around here hang private road signs as
a bluff.

It's most certainly a private road, but, the police were called by a biker
who refused to turn back who said I accosted him and knocked him off his
bike (I never touched him or his bike).

The police said that their maps don't show it as private, but, that it is
marked private only at the entrance and that in order for them to arrest
someone, we need to sign it according to California Penal Code 602L, which
basically says we need signs at the entrance and exit and along the borders
and along the road at a density of at least 3 per mile.

http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/di...&file=594-625c
(L) Entering any lands under cultivation or enclosed by fence,
belonging to, or occupied by, another, or entering upon uncultivated
or unenclosed lands where signs forbidding trespass are displayed at
intervals not less than three to the mile along all exterior
boundaries and at all roads and trails entering the lands without the
written permission of the owner of the land, the owner's agent, or
the person in lawful possession, and any of the following:
(1) Refusing or failing to leave the lands immediately upon being
requested by the owner of the land, the owner's agent, or by the
person in lawful possession to leave the lands.
(2) Tearing down, mutilating, or destroying any sign, signboard,
or notice forbidding trespass or hunting on the lands.
(3) Removing, injuring, unlocking, or tampering with any lock on
any gate on or leading into the lands.
(4) Discharging any firearm.


It seems that 602N may also apply:
(n) Driving any vehicle, as defined in Section 670 of the Vehicle
Code, upon real property belonging to, or lawfully occupied by,
another and known not to be open to the general public, without the
consent of the owner, the owner's agent, or the person in lawful
possession. This subdivision does not apply to any person described
in Section 22350 of the Business and Professions Code who is making a
lawful service of process, provided that upon exiting the vehicle,
the person proceeds immediately to attempt the service of process,
and leaves immediately upon completing the service of process or upon
the request of the owner, the owner's agent, or the person in lawful
possession.

The police came by because someone called them saying I was illegally
blocking the road (they said I knocked them off their bikes, but I didn't -
I simply told them to turn back and they didn't).

The cops said that their maps don't show it as a private road, but, that it
sure looked like one to them (I think that was an insult!).

Very dusty mountain bikers.

No road bike would make it the five miles of thorny California scrub that
it takes to get to the next paved road.

An ATV could make it, as could a pickup truck; but not a street bike
(certainly a dirt bike would have no problem - but I've never seen a dirt
bike on that trail ever).

We can put a chain across the trail as it enters the road, but the problem
with the chain across the road is the mail delivery from the USPO won't
hold onto a key or code.

Every other delivery and utility service will take down our gate codes, but
not the USPO.

So the people at the end of the road don't want their mailboxes moved.

That's the only impediment to a fixed barrier.

We did find out more about California Penal Code 602L though:
http://www.lacriminaldefensepartners...enal-code-602/

Effectively, they have to "refuse to leave" after being requested to do so.
It doesn't say that they have to go back the way they came (which is what I
was trying to get them to do).

hanging from the middle ? Having the writing on the drive may not be a big
enough hint for some ... but a chain/cable/gate is kinda hard to ignore .
"Trespassers will be shot" signage might help too . Gotta ask , where does
this road go that people want to be ? Lake , river , or some other place ?
Is it a "shortcut" to somewhere ?

I saw a good sign at a gun show a while back:

NO TRESPASSING
I HAVE A GUN AND A BACKHOE

These signs are all funny, and I appreciate the humor, but my question
would be whether people would take them seriously.

We want them to take the California Penal Code 602L and N seriously.

So, we'll go with the standard signs.
I noticed there are even "California" no-trespassing signs we can buy:

At $100 bucks a pop, these are a bit expensive though:

BTW, it's interesting that, in California, trespassing can be a felony!

The most expensive one I see there is $46.

Snerk, I noticed that too. However, if the end of that road is a
"lover's lane", maybe it could read "NO PUBIC ACCESS"

Most people said they didn't know it was a private drive, even though
there was one sign saying so at the entrance.

The drive is 18 feet wide so I can make large letters.

Where do you think those stencils would be found?

Shoot a couple and the word will spread.

maybe one of those homespun roadside memorials, with a believable sign
saying here is where the trespassers were killed.
