Answer 1

A private road is open to the general public. When a road is private, all it means is that it is not maintained by the city or government and is maintained by those who use it. The "private" part of the name doesn't mean nobody can use it, it means privately owned - like a privatised corporation - something run by the public not the government.

However, a business should make sure that the road can be used for commercial purposes. Private roads are processed and approved by the court, because of planning regulations and the fine line between the definition of private and public roads. A business needs to check with the court that the road can be used commercially. if the commercial business attracts too many visitors then the court may decide to make a part of the private road a public road.

Seek a lawyer if you need advice.

Answer 2

Only in certain conditions. The easiest way to gain access to a private road is to buy an easement from the private road's owner. If there is no way to access the property other than by using the private road and the owner denies you the right to use it, you MAY be able to sue for a prescriptive easement in court for the extent of the private road necessary to access your property. However, before engaging in any legal activities, please consult with a lawyer. Additionally, this answer does not create or imply any attorney-client relationship or confidentiality.

What defines a private road in Michigan and a access road in Michigan and can you block a commission from using your proberty or drive way to gain access to the a creek?

In Michigan, a private road is typically a privately owned and maintained roadway that provides access to properties but is not open to public traffic. An access road, on the other hand, usually refers to a road that provides access to a specific area or property, often for maintenance or utility purposes. Generally, property owners have the right to deny access to their property, including driveways, unless there is an established easement or legal right for the commission to do so. It is advisable to consult with a legal professional to understand specific rights and obligations related to property access.
