If you are in the city, say pinetop lakeside, I would bet their zoning people are used to thsi type of thing. Though it didn't happen up in the mountains, we had a section line road blocked in a county island between the rez and City of Mesa (arizona) by an ADOT supervisor. It was blocked for a while right in the middle of the road with a punch pad. Turns out, that is illegal, also turns out that if you work for the state and misuse your authority, you can be fired and lose your retirement,
