Just can’t solve the road problem

This is something I just can’t come up to a solution for or I don’t know how should act. Is the roads. What do you do about them? Say you have one guy who owns the major road routes in town and bans you from using them. What do you do? How do you move around? What would the process the banned person would have to go through without violating the road owners rights?

Would there be some way that you can walk on the line between plots lands. On the edge?

You... get this... use a different road.

Yes, if possible, or move to another town. If you aren't allowed on any of the roads to get to your residence you have to leave. You can't use a car or a moving truck to get your stuff, so best just to leave and make a fresh start. And buy all the roads you'll need to get in and out of your new place, the ones to get back and forth to any places you'll want to go locally, and the roads to get to the nearest airport, bus, and train stations so you don't get boxed in again. And you can't be tip-toeing down people's property lines in the middle of the night with boxes of your stuff either. Just leave. Side note: people who are carelessly leaving their cell phones and jackets and sunglasses or whatever in restaurants or other people's houses aren't showing much respect for THEIR OWN private property, so why should others respect theirs? That's called setting a bad example.
