About this statute

This part sets rules for public roads, private roads, and related road works. Local authorities must maintain public roads, and people generally cannot make a road without written permission. This part lets the local authority declare certain private roads to be public roads, and it gives the authority powers to require deposits, issue notices, order repairs or removal of obstructions, and control road-adjacent works. This provision lets the local authority require fencing, lighting, cleaning, drainage, and repair work for dangerous places, roads, drains, sanitation, and public obstructions, and it sets fines for non-compliance. Local authorities may control back lanes and building/earthwork work, but people generally need prior written approval before building, altering buildings, or starting earthworks. This provision lets local authorities control unsafe, unclean, or improperly built buildings and related land, and it requires owners to comply with notices, inspections, removals, and demolition orders.
