So, how would I know if that scenario is occurring?

Do I go to an official and ask?
Or like a trick or treater door to door?
I know there are adopt a highways but I never heard of this one.also, is that a venus fly trap as your picture?
if so hahaha rock on, I grow them with all other carnivorous plants


You would need to find out the county laws for county roads, state law for state roads, etc. (probably on line, too.)
As far as trick or treating ( Hilarious! ), the nearest residence is the likely owner.
My point is not that you had better ask, or karma will get you. Questions like this come up rather frequently here, and I am often disturbed by the lackadaisical comments. Put rather bluntly, if you don't own the land, someone else does. What one chooses to do about it is his or her own business, or at least not mine.

I do have some personal interest here: my sister owns 40 acres along a county road with a 40 foot wide swath along the road that she owns that is full of wild blueberries. Even though this few hundred foot stretch runs right in front of her house, she seldom ever gets to pick them: because it is along the road, the "public" seems to think they have the right.

P.S. My avatar is made up. nodding I drew it thinking more about "The Little Shop of Horrors". Although I don't grow carnivorous plants myself, I am personal friends with most of the native species here in Minnesota. Big Grin
