MADDE 747 · a. Zorunlu geçit

Taşınmazından genel yola çıkmak için yeterli geçidi bulunmayan malik, tam bir bedel karşılığında bir geçit hakkı tanınmasını komşularından isteyebilir.

Bu hak, ilk önce kendisinden bu geçidin istenmesi önceki mülkiyet ve yol durumuna göre en uygun düşen komşuya karşı ve daha sonra bundan en az zarar görecek olana karşı kullanılır.

Zorunlu geçit iki tarafın menfaati gözetilerek belirlenir.
