I agree as long as the rules are enforced and landowners aren't forced to deal with the consequences of people that break them.
Really this is called "sharing" and it's sad that it's causing so many problems.
Maybe a well-publicised term for a private easement that people recognise is treated in a particular way? I like that in the States, National Park means something, BLM means something, etc. Our designations in Australia don't seem as clear. We have Crown land, but I have no idea where to find out about it.
Private easement guides would be: You are a guest here on private land. Don't stray from the road, leave gates as you found them, livestock has right of way, no camping, etc.
Surely there's a balance in making reasonable land access available to people.
