A property owner who grants a right of way still owns the land but the land is subject to whatever rights were mentioned in the grant of ROW. The land owner cannot block the ROW. The landowner has the right to not have their land damaged in any way by the use of the ROW except for wear and tear from normal use.

  • You have the right to have the ROW used only for its intended purpose.
  • You have the right to not suffer any unreasonable or unnecessary damage to your property caused by its use. If such damage is caused by a legitimate user you have the right to have the property restored to its original condition.
  • If the ROW was granted for access only, you have the right to not have vehicles parking on or blocking the ROW and you have the right to not allow the ROW used for any other purpose except access.
  • You have the right to not have the ROW used by anyone who is not legally entitled to use the ROW.

If right of way to someone elses property which goes trough yours are you obligated to maintain?

It depends on the related laws of the state in which the property is located, as to whether someone can even cross your property to access their landlocked property, but I have never heard of a landowner being required by law to maintain the condition of anothers access. For example, Louisiana has a very old law [Napoleanonic Code, I think] which allows one to cross anothers property to access their own landlocked property. However, they are not allowed to cut any trees, or to install culverts or bridges, or to improve the "wagon track" in any way, including the addition of gravel, logs, or other "fillers" to the mudholes. Additonally, the landowner has no responsibility to provide any maintainence.
