those usually aren't permissive (at least in the areas that I know
of), instead there is usually a right of way (the owner of the land
that has to be crossed _has the obligation_ to let the other
(including postman, visitors, etc.) pass his property (this is often
something that is written in the land register). "Permissive" on the
other hand would mean that the owner could revoke the right to pass
his ground any time.

exactly
