If your land was adjacent to a public section road, your property line is in the middle of the road, but the city or county has an easement on the 32' from the center line into "your" property, so you can't just go fence off the road if you get mad. (Well, you can, but the gov't can make you take it back down).You also can't cause damage to the property of others through your actions; my guess is that you can't make him pay to maintain the road, but you can probably force him to fix the damage his asshattery is causing. But IANAL, and you really need legal counsel for this.</blockquote>
