More details to this question:
My neighbor’s house is behind mine. He has an easement along the edge of my property going to his. Today, I drove on the easement to exit my property and now he has his driveway roped off so I can't drive on it. I know I can stop him from using it, but can he stop me? Nothing special is written in my deed, just that there is an easement, I think it is just an implied easement.

No if their an easement is on your property or his your both entitled to use it and I recommend that you do use it if you don't he can make claim that is have abandon your right to use the easement. Neither party is allowed to block the easement.
