MAILBOXES ON HIGHWAY RIGHTS OF WAY WHICH ARE DISPLACED BY HIGHWAY PLOWS IN THE COURSE OF SNOW REMOVAL
There is no statutory or legal authority that grants a property owner or resident along a public highway any right to place a mailbox in a highway right of way.  The owner may have an informal license, but this does not endow the owner of the mailbox with any legal rights in the highway when needed for highway purposes.
