I have built "right of way" in a city, and I have peace with one neighbor and I see one of his cities on my map, but no roads have seemingly been built and I see no obvious button for establishing a trade route.

Oh the diplomacy screen I see the symbol which says that we can establish trade routes, but on the empire screen when I go into the trade route management, I just don't understand how do add one.

What am I missing?

I've yet to build one either but I've seen other people say something about needing a tech from the 3rd Era to actually do it like Caravanserai and Cargo Docks.

Has your neighbor also built a right of way? It only works if both of you have it.

This must be false.

In my current game, roads suddenly popped up from outside my borders all the way to one of MY cities!

I do not have right of way researched this time!

How could this have happened?

Why did the AI get allowed to build roads in MY kingdom? I mean, can his armies move faster on those roads?

Even though you see dirt paths, there are not actually roads there. That is where the roads will be if/when you build them (they are pre-determined). If you hover over a hex with a road, the tool tip will say "Road"

Oh, that is interesting, thank you for that information. So what determines when the dirt paths appear?

It means a nearby faction has built or is building right of way in his/her city. Which means if you build a right of way in your own city, you may generate a trade route between the two cities.
