Mine shows "easement". Allows access to utilities.
As to your "right-of-way" adjacent to the road (thru the neighborhood lawns), try driving it in your car for a month. Consider it research. I won't do it because I, right or wrong, believe that is my neighbor's yard and I would be trespassing and not being a nice, respectful neighbor.
You can do it because you think (or seem to think) it is perfectly OK and you and the general public have ever right to do so. Or is there something about"actual "right-of-way" definition that might not be quite as represented.
I'll treat my neighbors with respect and not trespass on there lawns. You do as you think appropriate as a good neighbor.
