Unknown Road in Smithfield is Private

I was driving to an appointment in North Smithfield and my directions from Waze took me down an unmarked road. There were a few small Private road signs up however, I see them all the time in RI, typically in affluent communities.

I was about 1/2 way down the road when a large pickup truck with a faded “Security” sticker on the fender speeds up to my bumper with horns blowing. I pulled over on this now dirt road and he started to verbally assault me. I didn’t think I ever heard so much profanity in one breth. The man was irate and incredibly rude, He had a large dog hanging out the window and a rifle mounted on the inside of his truck. This could have been an incredibly dangerous situation if I didn’t act politely in this situation. This road is also not currently on Google maps. Please remove this road from directions for everyone else’s safety. So, apparently, this is not a public road I did confirm that it is gated off when it meets Log Rd. Please remove this road from directions so someone doesn’t get shot.

Yikes, that sounds terrifying! Do you remember what the name of the private road was?

Unfortitly, I do not. Even in the directions just said turn right. I did provide screenshots in my post of the location.

OK, I did manage to find one road on Log Rd that connects to Tarklin Rd in Smithfield that might fit your description, so I marked it as Private so that Waze should not send you that way next time. Thanks for letting us know!
