Re: right of way
One who owns land that does not have road access (ie. it is landlocked) is entitled to a right of way to the nearest road. He is not entitled to pick one road over another. It's simply the closest one. All landowners between "landlocked" owner and the road must allow access by "LL" owner to his property.
