Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(b) A person may not acquire through adverse possession any right or title to real property dedicated to public use.
