How close to my property line can someone build a road?

This will depend to some extent on the specific laws of
the place where you live, but the general rule is that a road can be built all the way
up to your property line.


Typically, the road surface
itself will not come up to your property line.  This is because there will generally be
some amount of shoulder (or a sidewalk if you live in the city) and perhaps a little
more area that is called excess right of way.  However, there is not generally any
requirement that the road be set back from your property
line.


To find out about the law in your specific area,
contact your city government or your county government (if you live in an unincorporated
area).
