A '''private street''' is a road which is owned entirely by individuals, a homeowners' association, or corporations who maintain and secure it, usually using a gate or "no trespassing" sign to try to deny access by the public.

== Portland Place, St. Louis ==

[[Black Lives Matter]] protesters walked through the private street of Portland Place in St. Louis to reach the mayor's house on a public street on the other side. A couple who owned a home on that route considered their conduct to be trespassing and brandished firearms in [[self-defense]].

In the international news coverage that ensued, [[liberal]]s questioned the legitimacy of private streets in urban areas.<ref>[https://usa.streetsblog.org/2020/06/29/meet-the-mccloskeys-private-places-lead-to-spatial-anti-blackness-in-st-louis/ Meet the McCloskeys: How Private Places Act as a Form of Spatial Anti-Blackness in St. Louis]</ref>

Missouri has a [[Castle law]] to strengthen owners' rights but it is doubtful that extends to defense of private streets.
