We've had the trespassing discussion in gory detail before and I think it applies here. For reference look up RSA 635:2 Criminal Trespass.

To be in violation of this law you need to know your not supposed to be there. A "No Trespassing" sign is pretty clear, a land owner telling you to leave is pretty clear, a fence or gate is pretty clear, but is a sign saying "Private Road" clear?

My driveway is wooded and long enough to look like a road to some people, my sign says "Private Driveway, No Trespassing" It doesn't stop everyone, plenty of people come up to the house and turn around.

Personally, I would avoid driving past a "Private" anything sign unless I had business there.
