Can anyone use a private road?

Answer:

If a landowner sells lots (or a single parcel) that front on a private road, generally, the law provides the right to each lot owner and their invitees to use the road for access whether or not that right is granted in the deed. Town services such as police, fire and ambulance can also use the road.
