HighwayDedication
Highway dedication indicates which types of user have access to the given section of the Highway.
Against every section of geometry supplied by the local highway authority, there will be one of eight different types of Highway Dedication defined in the Highways Act 1980 and the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 which determines the Highway user access.
There can only be one Highway Dedication type applied to the geometry at any given date or time. It is likely that more than one Highway Dedication type applies to a section of Highway (i.e. a highway open to all vehicles will also have pedestrian way or footway access). The following table gives the order of priority where the highway dedications under each is inferred:
Highway Dedication user priorities
1
Motorway*
2
All Vehicles
3
Byway open to All Traffic
4
Restricted Byway
5
Bridleway
6
Cycle track or Cycle way
7
Pedestrian way or Footpath
*Motorways and Cycle Tracks (not Cycle Ways) impose restrictions on all other Highway users.
The Highway Dedication also identifies if the feature forms part of a National Cycle Route, Public Right of Way, Quiet Route, or Physical Obstruction, or if a Planning Order or Vehicular Traffic order exists.
A Highway Dedication feature will reference back to the Path Network through Network Reference and will reference a RoadLink or Street Feature.
The Highway dedication feature type is not extended to Scotland because this information does not exist in the source local authority data.
