The issue in the states that for example people build a house and turn the access road maintenance (grading, snow removal, etc) to county, still genuinely believing that it is their road because it is on their land. Well it may be their land but it is still a public road which can be used by public.
And even if the road has been taken off the maintenance list, most likely the owner hasn't hired a lawyer and it hasn't gone through the proper legal process, so it's still a public road.
The other point of confusion is that it costs money to install cattle guards, so in many places people just put burb wire fence gates. It doesn't mean that you can't go through just be a good neighbor and put it back up so cattle don't wander off.
And then I have a friend who had a gun pointed at him, or gates bluntly locked, you can't argue with that.
