N.Y. Highway Law § 314: For what purpose private road may be used

§ 314. For what purpose private road may be used. Every such private

road, when so laid out, shall be for the use of such applicant, his

heirs and assigns; but not to be converted to any other use or purpose

than that of a road; nor shall the occupant or owner of the land through

which said road shall be laid out be permitted to use the same as a

road, unless he shall have signified such intention to the jury who

assessed the damages for laying out such road, and before such damages

were assessed.
