Who owns right of way?

Answer 1

Right of way is a term subject to different meanings.

In traffic laws, a driver is entitled to the "right of way" meaning priority to proceed ahead of other vehicles or pedestrians, depending on certain rules of the road, such as the first to reach an intersection.

It can also refer to publicly owned roads, alleys, or sidewalks or any other publicly owned space along or across which the public is entitled to travel.

In the context of property law, it is the right to travel over someone's land and to have the reasonable use and enjoyment of their property as long as it is not inconsistent with the owner's use and enjoyment of the land.
