I believe you are talking about freedom of the Highway. This act was in force before Motorways existed and thus they are thankfully not applicable. Prohibited roads are simply exceptions to the rules. That is my understanding anyway.
Horses, Horse drawn vehicles, Pedestrians, Hand carts, Cyclists - all use the roads by right.

Motor vehicles (all types) are permitted to use the roads under licence.

Not sure how motorways and roads with prohibitions fit into this!

Raises a whole new issue. I know of one rather large cyclist who after having an altercation with a driver searched the streets for hours until he found the car. He then proceeded to turn it on it's roof and smash every window. Extreme I know but in reality nobody has a real idea of how another person be they a driver, cyclist, rider, or ped, will respond.

can we get this man a medal please :biggrin: - army of the V
