War Department measures relating to highways. Section 16 - Byelaws as to highways.
| (1) |
A byelaw under this Act shall not interfere with any Highway, unless made with the consent of the authority having control of the repair of the roads of the town, district, parish, or other area in which the Highway is situate, but where it appears to the authority that any Highway crosses or runs inconveniently or dangerously near to any land the use of which can be regulated by byelaws under this Act, the authority may consent to a byelaw providing to such extent as seems reasonable for the temporary Diversion from time to time of the Highway, or for the restriction from time to time of the use thereof.
|
| (2) |
Any such Highway, if a Footpath, may (without prejudice to any other power of stopping up or diverting the same) be stopped up or diverted in the manner in which a Footpath crossing or running inconveniently or dangerously near to any land leased under Part One of this Act may be stopped up or diverted.
