Right of Way (ROW)

Right of Way (ROW) is the legal right to pass through a specific pathway or area, such as roads, railways, or utility lines, owned or controlled by another party. It ensures that users can access certain routes or services without interference while respecting the property rights of the owner. ROWs are established through legal agreements or laws to facilitate transportation, communication, and utility infrastructure while balancing the interests of property owners and public needs. In essence, it’s about having the legal permission to travel or install facilities across designated areas.
