§ 408.427. Unauthorized crossing, removal or destruction of control-of-access fence or barrier on highway: Injunction; recovery of expenses of restoration
Whenever any person cuts, removes, destroys, crosses or otherwise penetrates a control-of-access
fence or barrier maintained by the Department on an interstate or other highway, to
which the State has acquired the abutters' easements of access to and from the abutting
land, the Department may petition the district court of the county where such highway
is located for an order permanently enjoining such person from further penetration
of the control of access, and if the court finds, upon taking proof by affidavit or

such person from further violation of such control-of-access fence or barrier and
shall provide in its order that the Department may recover from such person a sum
