Background: I live on the corner of a main road and the entrance road into my neighborhood. My house faces the main road, but my driveway and garage are accessed from the neighborhood road. However, I have an offshoot from my main driveway that passes in front of my home and exits to the main road.
Issue: to date, all but the neighborhood kids have managed to avoid using my driveway as a public sidewalk. But lately there's been a woman who walks her dog and uses my driveway to avoid walking on the road. (Note: I would not be opposed to walking in my grass to avoid the road--there is no sidewalk--but my driveway is situated fairly close to my home before it makes the turn to the main road, and she ends up being solidly on my property, and just a little too close to my home.) And I know for a fact she walks a city block ON THE MAIN ROAD without using the grass easement of the other properties before she gets to mine.
On the assumption that I have verbally informed her of the fact that she is not welcome to walk her dog on my property, what steps can I take to prevent her from doing so in the future?
