This book was first published in 1993 and proved extremely popular as a clear, straightforward reference to the law of highways. The text has now been revised to take account of legislation since the original edition. Also incorporated are references to recent case law, including important High Court judgments on winter maintenance and accidents on the highway and on rights of way. The cases now reaching the higher courts on the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 and the subsequent regulations are also covered. The recent environmental legislation and the implications of the Human Rights Act are considered. The format of the book has been retained with the intention that it should continue to provide easy access into this specialist area of law for busy solicitors in general practice and for highway engineers charged with the maintenance of the country's road network.

First Published in 2004. As a consequence of so much construction work being carried out on or near highways, contractors ignore at the peril the law of highways and the influence it has, or should have, on their working methods and practices. Some knowledge of the law relating to highways is essential to anyone involved in the construction process, including the architect, engineer or surveyor advising a client as to what is possible and the contractor actually carrying out the contract works. By avoiding legal language this book aims to provide practical guidance from maintenance and improvements to activities related to construction work on or near highways.
