Where else do vehicles have a right-of-way on non-road surfaces? And how does it work in Daytona's case, and others?

Ferries, cars just drive on and get carried across water.
What's not to like about highways and bridges, intersections and interchanges, rails and planes?

State owned vehicles/employees (IA) are allowed on DNR trails for maintenance, but no one else can.

UPRR has some pretty nice roads on their ROW in places, but think twice before driving there.

Various drainage districts in Iowa can regulate access to their levees and dikes.

I was thinking about public rights-of-way, such as in the Daytona Beach example where the public has a right to drive on the beaches per county law.

The DNR managed areas are publicly  owned as are the levees and dikes.

In my area many levees are gated and locked, adjoining landowners have keys and use them for field access.  Quite a few of the levees have good roads, and offer scenic rewards to the lucky few.

The trails in the DNR areas can be spectacular, but for the public, they are restricted to walking and horse riding.  Even disabled people are prohibited unless they can walk or get on a horse somehow.

I once went to Taiwan and sometimes pedestrians have to use the scooter lanes in the street because of all the scooters legally parked on the sidewalks.

I'd rather be a child of the road than a son of a ditch.


At what age do you tell a highway that it's been adopted?
