What are the requirements for the distances between no trespassing signs in the state of georgia for lake front property in an unplanned residential area on a public road?
the property is 4+ acres in size, fenced and gated at all entry points.

I assume your question is asking whether there's a MINIMUM distance between trespass signs such that someone illegally on your property can't claim that they didn't see a sign. Here's the deal -- trespass signs do not carry any legal weight. No laws have been passed (that I'm aware of) which states that it is easier or harder to prosecute (criminally or in civil court) someone because a certain number of no trespass signs were placed a certain number of feet or yards apart.
Trespass occurs if someone comes on your property (or causes another person or object to come on your property) without your permission. Period. If your lot is fenced and gated at all entry points, that in and of itself is enough to put the world on notice that it is private property and to keep out. The addition of a few no trespass signs only reinforces the notion. No specific number required.
Best of luck.*****The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******
