Pennsylvania's roads just suck. Ask anyone who has been on the Turnpike lately--there's always something torn up. In fact, Penndot has tried to nominate their orange and white construction barrels as the official state flower many times
What's the official state motto?

Oh yes they do. You are not exempt from the law simply because you are on private property. And "vehicular trespassing" - which this OP clearly was - is something the police can and will write a ticket for.
And in general, you can be fined for things you do on private property, such as serving alcohol to minors at a party, being in violation of fire codes, and a variety of other things.
My neighbors where i used to live (more than 20 years ago now) were severely fined for having an illegal bonfire in their yard that was left burning out of control all night (after my father called the fire department on them ). The idiots were renovating and decided to burn the construction trash - including paint cans - rather than pay to have it hauled away.

The cops here will not write you a ticket on private property, but, they will call a wrecker to remove you. It's in the borough ordinances that any private owner can request a vehicle be removed from thier property after it hasn't moved for 15 minutes.

Finland has four seasons. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. But Winter is longer than the others.
So winter changes to spring, spring changes to summer, summer changes back into winter, and winter gives spring and summer amiss and heads straight on into autumn.
Lovely.

Really, it's more that the snow simply doesn't melt properly until between April and July, depending on just how far north you are. Needless to say, Lapland doesn't get much of a summer, but it *does* get a pretty decent autumn.
At the other end of the year, November is notoriously dark, because the days get very short but the new snow hasn't fallen yet to lighten things up.

OK; I guess I should have been more specific and said that cops do not / can not write tickets for parking violations or moving violations on private property, at least not in any state I've ever lived in.
Which is why I could learn to drive my Dad's big ol' stock hauler pickup as soon as I could reach the pedals, sit on the seat, and see over the steering wheel at the same time.
Now, if you call them for trespassing when they park on your lawn ...
Any day you're looking down at the dirt instead of up at the dirt is a good day.
