Protected land is Linden owned land.  You typically see it between mainland plots on mainland.......it's where the Linden roads and railroads are run.  There are restrictions such as you cannot rezz objects on protected land (except in designated "Rez Zones").  It's open for the use of vehicles (but you cannot rez the vehicles outside the designated rez zones).  No resident can own or block protected land.  Protected land is not restricted to roads, railroads or other "right of ways"........entire sims can be protected land and water areas can be protected land.  If it's owned by "Governor Linden" it's protected land.

Besides the other great answers...

Often, the term "protected" land refers to land that is owned by a resident, but that is adjacent to land owned by "Governor Linden" (Linden Lab).  This land is "protected" because nobody is likely to build next door to you to block your access to the open water.

To find out if a land parcel is truly "protected", go to the parcel border.  Right click the land on the other side of the border, and select About Land.  Check to see that the owner is "Governor Linden" and that the land is designated "Maintenance".
