I have read because it was a private road, they are legally not allowed to place an unmovable object

That doesn't make sense. If it's a private road, wouldn't that mean you can place whatever you want on it? It's your road.

The developer never turned over the road to the North Carolina DOT after completion of the subdivision.

Just depends on the “they”. Local government wouldn’t touch it, the owners could have. I’d say it’s a slam dunk case against the owners for exactly that reason. Google ignored numerous reports so they may get some blame too.
