How must notice be given to an individual if entry to a property is prohibited or restricted?

  1. Via a phone call

  2. Either verbally, in writing, or with the aid of signs or yellow markings

  3. By posting a notice in the local newspaper

  4. Through email notification

The correct answer is: Either verbally, in writing, or with the aid of signs or yellow markings

Giving notice to an individual that entry to a property is prohibited or restricted must be done verbally, in writing, or with the aid of signs or yellow markings. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not provide the individual with a physical or visual reminder of the restriction, therefore leaving room for confusion or forgetfulness. Phone calls can be easily forgotten or ignored, newspaper postings may not reach the individual in question, and email notifications may not be noticed or saved for future reference. Option B ensures that the individual is properly informed and reminded of the restriction.
