Highway Law provides detailed and practical commentary on the law relating to the creation, upkeep, development and ownership of highways. Written by Stephen Sauvain QC, Highway Law guides readers through the powers and duties of highway authorities, the rights of users of the highway, and the rights and responsibilities of those who own land around the highway. Highway Law examines in detail the whole structure of highway law and addresses matters of particular interest to the practitioner such as stopping up and diversion orders, traffic orders, street works, footpaths, bridleways and bridges. The book references all recent legislation, relevant statutory instruments and case law.
