The law of highways touches our everyday lives from the moment we step
out of our homes in the morning until we are safely back at home again.
During lockdown, many of us had the chance to explore our neighbourhoods
further. All those roads, lanes and paths. All those highways.
This book explains in straightforward language what highways actually
are, how they come about and whose job it is to look after them. It
should prove to be a valuable guide to every practitioner who has to
give advice to property investors and developers, whether the land in
question is an established site or a brand new green field plot.
