This code list is present in OS MasterMap Highways Network – RAMI and OS MasterMap Highways Network – Paths products. The following table identifies the codes used to populate this field and a description for each code. These codes conform to the legal categories of highway as defined in the Highway Act 1980 and Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, with the exception of 'No Dedication Or Dedication Unknown'. Dedications indicate the legal access status for a given feature only; no indication as to its physical accessibility is made in this attribute. ## **Code List: DedicationValue** {% embed url="" %} | Code | Description | | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Byway Open To All Traffic | A Byway with rights for all vehicles. | | Pedestrian Way Or Footpath | A Way for pedestrians only.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.os.uk/os-downloads/products/transport-network-portfolio/os-mastermap-highways-network-fundamentals/os-mastermap-highways-network-code-lists/dedicationvalue.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
