You're right; it's not an indication of who has the right to pass. It's an indication of who doesn't have the right to pass, and that would be those who don't have a legal interest in the property, either through ownership rights or some other conveyance.

If I'm driving along a public road and I see an unfamiliar side road marked with a town road sign and the word "Private," I probably don't know who has the legal right to use that private road, but I'm pretty sure of one thing: I don't have the legal right to go down that road.
