The right answer is for the near-trillion dollar company to stop calling what is not a road a road I'd think rather than a rural landowner to have to go thru the expense of putting up a gate!

Maps have had errors since the dawn of them, yes, even the land registry isn't always right, and yes, even state as a whole sometimes can't agree on their border (i.e. France and Monte Bianco)

The right answer is for users not to be brainlessly following whatever their corpo device tells them to be the truth.
