But be careful with this: if your private roads are like the ones in my area, the sign 'private' usually just means that they are not maintained by the council; access is open to anyone, and the sign 'private' is meant to discourage people from parking rather than stop them driving in the road. A bit like the old 'polite notice' signs, meant to look like 'police notice' to a casual reader. Of course some private roads are gated or have some kind of guard on them, and there access really is restricted. Andy, what do you do about roads which are private but have unrestricted access?
