Where is the “right of way” of a highway?
Right of way is property owned by the state for the sake of safety, future road projects, etc. It is the paved surface plus some additional ground beyond the pavement. The width varies from place to place. Inside a city it might be only from curb to curb. In other places right of way may extend 200 feet or more beyond the pavement. Often it matches the line of utility poles or wire fencing, but that is not always the case. It is best to check with your ODOT District office to determine the right-of-way line.
