Not a regular brown or white fence, but a purple fence like someone dipped it in grape Kool-Aid? Your brain says, okay, why? Is it just an odd choice of color? An odd taste in paint? As it turns out, no. There is a reason. Purple on a fence means one thing: no trespassing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1950061\" data-uid=\"06f2f\">\n<div id=\"mgw1950061_06f2f\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgbox card-media\" data-template-type=\"container\">\n<div class=\"mgheader\" data-template-type=\"header\" data-template-placed=\"before\">\n<p>I know, a little odd. Like, why purple? Why not red, or neon orange, or a literal \u201ckeep out\u201d sign? But in many rural areas, purple paint has emerged as a coded signal. In some states, it is even legally recognized. Rather than putting up 25 signs that could blow away or fade, you put a purple mark on a fence post and boom, the message is communicated.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1950062\" data-uid=\"117f2\">\n<div id=\"mgw1950062_117f2\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgbox card-media\" data-template-type=\"container\">\n<div class=\"mgheader\" data-template-type=\"header\" data-template-placed=\"before\">\n<p>Now, just because you slapped a little purple on a board, don\u2019t expect everyone to understand. There are rules regarding the paint, depending on where you live. The major one is that the purple marks need to be vertical. Not random dabs of paint, not horizontal graffiti, but vertical stripes. This is how someone knows it is intentional and not just a bored teenager with leftover paint.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1950061\" data-uid=\"0d3ff\">\n<div id=\"mgw1950061_0d3ff\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgbox card-media\" data-template-type=\"container\">\n<div class=\"mgheader\" data-template-type=\"header\" data-template-placed=\"before\">\n<p>Also, size matters. Each stripe should be at least one inch wide and roughly eight inches long\u2014large enough to catch your attention from a fair distance. What\u2019s the point if it\u2019s so small you don\u2019t notice it, or it just looks like a mistake?<strong>READ MORE BELOW<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1950029\" data-uid=\"170ce\">\n<div id=\"mgw1950029_170ce\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgbox\">\n<div class=\"mgheader\" data-template-type=\"header\" data-template-placed=\"before\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever been walking in a quiet neighborhood or on a trail in the country and noticed a purple fence?
