Just because private property has a road on it doesn't mean that everyone "has a right" to use the road.
We are just repeating what we have been told. In reality, I would think that the right of use would be spelled out in the easement description in the deeds of the properties that the private road occupies. I imagine the Sargent may have tried giving a simple answer which actually may be more complicated and specific to the particular road.

I imagine someone on the forum will have the answer as there are many private roads in the area.
