Did you know that the beginning of your driveway and the first few feet of your yard is actually public property? You have to pay property taxes on it and may have to do upkeep if there's an HOA, but you can't legally build on the easement, or prevent people from being on it. Standard easements in the majority of the US are almost always either 25 or 30 feet from the center of the road.
Edit: in Missouri, the easement is 60 feet wide. Most residential roads are between 24 and 28 feet wide, meaning there's at least a 14 foot berth onto your yard before you even get to think about trespassing being remotely the case.
Edit2: Also it doesn't matter if it's a private road, all that means is maintenance of that road is paid for by a private entity rather than a public one, not that only the owner of the road is allowed to access it.
