An owner of land bounded by a road or street is presumed to own to the center of the way, but the contrary may be shown.
Notes
Establishes a presumption that an owner whose land is bounded by a road or street owns the land to the center of the roadway. The presumption may be rebutted by contrary evidence, so ownership does not extend automatically to the center when a different boundary can be shown.
