rights-of-way
Legal passage entitlements
Rights-of-way is the plural of right-of-way.
A right-of-way is legal permission to pass through property owned by someone else, or the strip of land subject to such permission: The utility company has a right-of-way across the back of our lot.
In traffic, right-of-way is the legal priority to proceed: Pedestrians have the right-of-way in crosswalks.
To yield the right-of-way is to let another go first.
