Right of way
Videos
Right of way, is the legal right, established by grant from a landowner or long usage, to pass along a specific route through property belonging to another.
A similar right of access also exists on land held by a government, lands that are typically called public land, state land, or Crown land. When one person owns a piece of land that is bordered on all sides by lands owned by others, an easement may exist or might be created so as to initiate a right of way through the bordering land.
