This book provides an outline to all aspects of the law relating to highways, covering the creation, maintenance, improvement and extinguishment of highways. Individual chapters discuss such topics as the extent of liability of highway authorities for accidents occurring on the highway; traffic regulation and the Road Traffic Acts; private streetworks; and rights of way as now governed by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Orlik explains the Common Law underlying highways and the rights of passage for the public, discussing many leading cases on such matters as obstruction and public nusiance. He shows how Statute Law has developed on strong Common Law foundations in providing for the protection and maintenance of highways.
