§ 5222 Highway Right-Of-Way Measurement

• •This law explains how to measure 660 feet from the side of a road.
• •You measure straight out from the edge of the road, not along the road.
• •The measurement is always at a right angle (90 degrees) to the center of the road.

If you want to build a fence near a highway, you need to know how far it must be from the road.

You start at the edge of the road and measure straight out (like drawing a line perpendicular to the road) for 660 feet. That’s where your fence can start.
