there are a bunch of fire roads close to my neighborhood... they all have a closed gate and a warning that it is illegal to drive or obstruct them....i was wondering if it is illegal to walk in them?
It depends on whether they are on public or private property. If they are on public property, it's not illegal. I've hiked on fire roads. The gates are to keep people from driving on them. Usually, it is easy to walk around the gates.
