Well, actually, it depends on the road. If it's a municipal, county, or state road, then the local municipal, county, or state, respectively, can decide to close the street down entirely if they want.

So it kind of is how it works. Unless it's an interstate.

Not exactly a gated community, but they're generally allowed to do these kinds of things.

Then take it up with your municipal, county, or state if you want to change public roads. What these people are doing is akin to vigilantism.

Ok, then let the municipality, county, or state, stop them. If they don't, that's their prerogative.

Residents who have a problem with that are welcome to lobby the respective governing body.
