 Green, gray, and brown boxes are the dimensions of my land. Blank area between them is a protected road at ground level. If I wanted to connect skyboxes or platforms up in the sky across that gap... 1. Is this something I should not do? 2. Is this something I can do? The white bridge there right now is just a temp to measure the distance and see if I can keep something from being auto-returned. _____________________

If you keep the parent prim of the linked set(the yellow one among the blue ones) on your land the bridge will stay as the entire count will go to your land prim count.
Make the bridge and make the last prim you link on the end on your land. best idea is make the whole bridge on your land in the way described above then move it over the gap while keeping the parent prim at the start of the bridge on your land |

And that parent prim could be a tiny little 0.1x0.1x0.1 one prim thing?
(Not that I'd want that example, but just wondering.) _____________________

1. Is this something I should not do? technically, no you shouldn't, but who is going to care, or even know about it if it is up high? 2. Is this something I can do? The white bridge there right now is just a temp to measure the distance and see if I can keep something from being auto-returned. what craig said  _____________________

Up that high, you're not impeding anyone.
With the root prim of the object on your own land, you're not chewing the prim allocation of the Linden land. There have been threads here about *low* bridges over roads Linden roads and water channels. People avoid being ARed by making those as scripted swing bridges that only cross the gap on demand. I've put stuff out over Linden land, but that was to put a cardinal mark at a sim corner to flag not only the sim crossings, but also some invisible ban lines beyond a sim boundary. I seem to remember that the wonderful railroad viaduct at Steamboat (or a similar idea of it) got damaged temporarily after LegalisticAsshole Resident submitted an AR that unfortunately got processed by NewbieLegalisticAssholeGM Linden. Despite what some people sometimes say about the erratic_du_jour of the GM team, In general they only slap you down if you are seriously taking the piss or are being extremely clueless to the point of appearing to take the piss. In this case of your skybridge, nobody could accuse you of that. _____________________

1. Is this something I should not do? Technically, no, and someone *could* possibly AR it as encroachment. Likely someone with too much time on their hands and/or an axe to grind. I would sincerely doubt you have a *lot* to worry about on it. _____________________

You should build a catapult to launch people from one platform to the other.

How high up is it?
If it's anywhere near ground level you will certainly get ARed. If it's hundreds of meters up, you're probably OK... though I thought about doing it in Noonkkot and declined. I know some people who have set up a low-level bridge and it's been OK for a few months, but it's over an empty roadbed not a complete Linden road. _____________________

it's called Protected Land for a reason

The reason is that you're not supposed to be buildings things on/over it.
