THE DECLARATION OF HIGHWAYS (ss 10-16)
11. Minister may declare new public highways Act No. 40 of 1969 s. 2
Upon application by a road authority, the Minister may, by notice published in
the Gazette, order that any new highway shall be opened and may in such notice
declare that highway to be a public highway for the purposes of this Act; and
upon application by a road authority, the Minister may order that any existing
public highway be permanently closed, diverted or turned and that some other
shorter or more convenient course be substituted for any public highway so
6
closed, diverted or turned, as the public advantage may require and may order
that any public highway may be widened or enlarged in such manner as the
Minister thinks fit, and may take such steps as may be lawful to acquire any land
as may be required for any of the purposes mentioned.
16. Appropriation of land for purposes of this Act Act No. 27 of 1959 Sch.
(1) If it shall become necessary to acquire the land of any person for the

may issue a permit in the Form B set out in the Second Schedule,
authorising the applicant, his servants or agents a permit to enter upon the
land and to construct such road of access which shall be of such width as

the road authority may decide, subject to such conditions and to the
payment of such compensation in respect of any growing crops or
permanent improvements damaged or destroyed by the construction of
such road of access, as the road authority shall see fit to impose.
(2) The road authority shall have power to determine by whom the costs of
any such application under this Act shall be borne and to fix the amount.
20. Right of way and liability over road of access Act No. 40 of 1969 s. 12

Provided that no such user shall establish a prescriptive right of way over
such road of access.
(2) The road authority may at its discretion require a road of access to be
fenced should it pass through an already existing fenced enclosure and
the road authority shall apportion the cost of such fencing between the
parties interested.
(3) The applicant shall at all times maintain the said road of access in a good
and efficient state of repair to the satisfaction of the road authority having
jurisdiction in the area in which the road of access is situated and, for the
purpose of such maintenance, the applicant, his servants or his agents
shall have the right to enter at all times upon the road of access:
Provided that as little damage or inconvenience as possible shall be
caused by such entry to the owner or occupier of the land over which the
road of access passes, and that such right of entry shall be subject to such
conditions as the road authority may impose in granting the permit for
constructing the road of access:
Provided further that if any owner of land over which such road of access
passes shall use such road of access, that owner shall pay a proportionate
share towards the maintenance of that portion of the road used by the
owner and, the proportionate share to be paid shall be fixed by the road

and amount of traffic likely to pass over the road of access.
PART V
EXECUTION OF WORKS (ss 24-36)
27. Compensation
(1) Where it appears to the road authority that, having regard to the
circumstances of any particular case or to local custom, compensation
should be paid for any material dug, quarried, gathered, taken and carried
away or for the damage done to the land over which the material may be
carried, the road authority may enter into an arrangement with the owner
of such land for the payment of compensation:
Provided that the rate of payment for the quarrying, gathering or taking of stone
shall not in any case exceed such rates as the Minister may prescribe.
(2) In the case of any difference between the authority and such owner in
respect of the liability to pay compensation or the amount of
compensation payable as the result of any act, matter or thing done by the
authority under the powers conferred by section 25, such owner may, at
any time before the expiration of one month after the decision of the
authority has been communicated to the owner, refer the dispute for
decision to a district court within whose jurisdiction the land is situate.
33. Owner of adjoining land to have bridge over drain beside highway
(1) Where if the owner of any house or premises or any land adjoining any
public highway by the side of which a drain has been made, requires the
means of access to such house, premises or land from the public highway
the owner shall be bound to place over such drain a bridge, platform or
culvert which shall be at least four feet in width and so constructed and
maintained as not to interfere with the efficiency of such drain.
(2) It shall be lawful for the road authority, if it comes to knowledge of the
authority that any person has access to any house, premises or land
situated without a bridge, platform or culvert as provided under
subsection (1), to call upon such person to construct the same, and if that
12
person fails to do so within a reasonable time, the road authority may
cause the same to be done and recover the costs incurred from that
person.

A road authority may prohibit all persons from riding or driving any kind of
animal or vehicle on any public highway for such period of time as the road
authority considers necessary, not exceeding one month after the construction of
such highway and any person who wilfully disobeys the prohibition, after the
prohibition has been duly notified by a notice affixed to a board erected upon or
near to such public highway, shall be guilty of an offence.
PART VI
THE USE OF HIGHWAYS (ss 37-45)
15
Provided that nothing contained in this section shall render any officer or
employee of a road authority in charge of any work on any public
highway or any contractor under a contract to a road authority, liable for
for any act done by such officer or employee in the course of the duties of
his office or done by such contractor in the necessary execution or
performance of his contract, unless such officer, employee or contractor
lays or causes to be laid any heap of stones, gravel, rubbish or other
matter upon any public highway and allows the same to remain there at
night to the danger or injury of any person, vehicle or animal passing on
the highway, without taking due and reasonable precaution to prevent
any such danger, injury or damage.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (i) of subsection (1) any projection erected
or placed against or in front of any house or building which by reason of
its being insecurely fixed or of defective construction or otherwise is a
source of danger to persons lawfully using a public highway shall be
deemed to be an obstruction to the safe or convenient passage along a
public highway.
16
imprisonment with or without hard labour for a term not exceeding three
days for each day upon which such failure continues.
(3) Nothing in this section shall extend to any works or apparatus fixed or
placed under any statutory authority.
43. Power to temporarily close highway or to restrict traffic Ord. No. 17 of 1942 s. 2
(1) Where the road authority is satisfied that traffic on any public highway for
the maintenance of which it is responsible, should be restricted or
prohibited by reason of works of repair or reconstruction being required
or being in progress on the highway, or for the purpose of preserving or
protecting the surface of the highway, the road authority may temporarily
restrict or prohibit the use of that highway or any part of the highway by
vehicles of any particular class or description to such extent and subject to
such conditions or exceptions as the road authority may consider
necessary and the authority shall, whenever possible, give reasonable
public notice of the intention to close or restrict traffic on a highway or
part of the highway.
(2) The authority shall have power to regulate or stop traffic in such manner
as may seem best and shall issue warnings and directions either by
written or printed notice displayed at some conspicuous place or by word
of mouth or by erection of barriers or otherwise.

without the approval of the Minister, continue in force for a longer period
than three months and notice of such approval shall be published in the
Gazette.

any restriction or prohibition imposed under this section shall be liable, in
the case of a first conviction, to a fine not exceeding three hundred
shillings or imprisonment with or without hard labour for a term not
exceeding one month and, in the case of a second or subsequent
conviction, to a fine not exceeding five hundred shillings or to
imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months.
17
44. Power to limit weight and speed on part of highway
(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in any rules made under this Act or
under any other law regulating the maximum weights to be carried on
any public highway, it shall be lawful, for the purpose of safeguarding the
safety of the public or of preserving the condition of a highway, for a road
authority to fix a limit to the maximum weight or speed of vehicles which
may lawfully be driven or hauled over any part of a highway and such
power shall be deemed to have been sufficiently and properly exercised if
the road authority places, on or near such part of a highway, a
conspicuous notice, denoting the maximum speed or to the effect that
such part of the highway is unsuited to carry traffic in excess of the weight
specified in the notice.
(2) Any person who hauls or drives or is responsible for hauling or driving
over any part of a public highway a vehicle at a speed or of a weight in
excess of that specified in the notice without the consent in writing of the
road authority, shall be guilty of an offence:
Provided that it shall be lawful for the purpose of keeping within the
specified weight, to detach any trailer from any vehicle and take over
singly any vehicle or trailer which does not exceed the specified weight.
45. Prevention of obstruction to view at corners Ord. No. 27 of 1959 Sch.
(1) Where a road authority is of the opinion that it is necessary for the
prevention of danger arising from obstruction to the view of person using
the highway, to impose any restriction with respect to any land at or near
any corner or bend in a highway maintainable by the road authority, the
road authority may serve a notice–
(a) upon the owner or occupier of the land directing him to alter the
height or character of any wall, not being a wall forming part of the
structure of a permanent edifice, fence or hedge on the land so as to
cause the same to conform with any requirement specified in the
notice; or
(b) upon every owner of the land restraining such owner either
absolutely or subject to such conditions as may be specified in the

erected or planted on the land:
Provided that–
(i) there shall be annexed to any notice served under this section, a plan
showing the land to which the notice relates;
(ii) a notice restraining the erection of any building upon land situated within
a township or municipality shall not be served by a road authority except
with the consent of the township authority or the municipal council; and
(iii) the owner of any land shall not be restrained by a notice served under this
section, from executing or permitting the reconstruction or repair in such
18
manner as not to create any new obstruction to the view of persons using
the highways adjacent to the land, of any building which was upon the
land before the service of the notice.
(2) Any restriction imposed by a notice served under this section shall come
into force upon the service of the notice and shall remain in force until the
notice is withdrawn by the road authority by whom it was served, and
any such restriction shall, while in force, be binding upon any successor in
title to the owner of the land to which the restriction relates, unless he
proves that when he become the owner of the land he had, after making
due inquiries, no reasonable cause to suspect that any such restriction was
in force.
(3) If any person upon whom a notice has been served under this section
objects to any requirement of the notice, or to any restriction imposed he
may, within fourteen days after receipt of the notice, send the objection in
writing, stating the grounds to the objection to the road authority by
whom the notice was served, and the question whether the notice shall be
withdrawn or modified as respects any requirement or restriction objected
to, shall be determined by a court presided over by a resident magistrate
having jurisdiction in the area in which the land is situate, and the
decision of such court shall be final.
(4) Any person upon whom a notice is served under this section shall have
power, notwithstanding anything in any conveyance or in any lease or
other agreement, to do all such things as may be necessary for complying
with the requirements of the notice.
(5) Where a notice has been served upon any person under this section, the
road authority by whom the notice was served may, with the consent of
that person, do on his behalf anything necessary for complying with the
requirements of the notice.
(6) Subject to the provisions of this section, if any person upon whom a notice
has been served under this section fails to comply with any requirement
of, or acts in contravention of, the notice, such person shall, without
prejudice to any other proceedings which may be taken against him, be
guilty of an offence and shall be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred
shillings or to imprisonment with or without hard labour for a term not
exceeding one month and any person so convicted shall within such time
as the court may allow, do all such things as may be necessary to conform
to the requirement or restriction imposed by the notice and if he fails to do
so he shall be deemed to commit a continuing offence, and shall be liable
to a further fine not exceeding forty shillings or to imprisonment with or
without hard labour for a term not exceeding three days for each day
upon which such failure continues.
19
(7) Any person upon whom a notice is served under this section shall be
entitled to recover from the road authority by whom the notice was
served, any expenses reasonably incurred in carrying out any direction
contained in the notice and any person sustaining loss in direct
consequence of any requirement of a notice served under this section, or
any person who proves that his property is injuriously affected by any
restriction imposed by any such notice, shall, if he makes a claim within
six months after the service of the notice, be entitled to recover from the
road authority by whom the notice was served, compensation for the
injury sustained.

by excessive weight or speed or extraordinary traffic the authority may recover,
by a suit in a court of competent jurisdiction, from any person by or in
