road n. For purposes of offences relating to road traffic, any highway or other route to which the general public has access. A road must be a route leading from one place to another, and this is always a question of fact. It may include a hotel forecourt, a road privately owned but to which the public has access, or a bridge over which a road passes (Road Traffic Act 1998 s 192), but a car park is usually not regarded as a road (Oxford v Austin [1981] RTR 416). Some traffic offences are defined to cover roads and “other public places”. |
