Reality is this. You own the landscape to the road or sidewalk or the wall or your neighbors landscape. You bought it. You maintain it. It is yours. Regardless of "easement's", only authorized utility, maintenance or safety personnel may trespass for the appropriate purposes. All others are trespassers and should keep to the road or sidewalk provided! And, NO! Asking forgiveness after the fact is NOT acceptable.
If you were to do some research, I think you'll find that your assumptions and conclusions are incorrect. Please read my post #31.

Attached is a Screen Shot of the Sumter County GIS system, of a typical area in The Villages. Please note, "property lines" do not extend to the paved portion of the road. Property lines are typically at least 10' from the actual paved portion of the roadway and that land does not belong to the homeowner (I'm getting conflicting stories, whether it belongs to TV or the County ... my guess is that TV owns it) Whoever owns it, it is part of the road layout (taking) and the public has the right to use it.

Per Sumter County regulations, most Roadways in the county are now a minimum of 50' in width, with 24'-26' being paved. TV is a little different, as it's permitted as a planned community.

You can look up your address, here: ArcGIS Web Application
