If You See A Purple Fence Post, Turn Around And Stay Away

If you ever go out for a hike or a walk through the countryside, you’ll likely see all different kinds of fences, from chain link to picket to the three-board variety. But there is one fence that if you see it, you should turn around and go back in the direction you came from. Those fences have posts that are painted purple.

You might encounter one and think that it is just the owner’s way of decorating their enclosure, but that’s not at all the case – the color has an important meaning: No trespassing.

Because “No Trespassing” signs can easily fall down, many landowners choose to instead just paint their posts. And in 16 states, there are actually laws that state that using the purple paint is equivalent to putting up “No Trespassing” signs.
More importantly, those Purple Paint Laws are also used as a warning to hunters, alerting them that hunting is prohibited in that area. With over 1,000 hunting accidents injuring or killing people each year, landowners want to keep their families, pets and animals safe, and use purple posts to do so. There is even a specific paint color they use, aptly called “No Hunting Purple.”
