Oh really? I was under the impression that as public roads, the right
you have to acces that public road is a legislated privilege not a
RIGHT. You do not have a RIGHT to walk across a road anymore than you
have the RIGHT to enter my front door.


Public streets & roads are a Commons, and as such are free to
Everyone's use. That's how they're "public". Put another way,
it's not the access per se to them that is regulated, it is the
vehicles upon them. Your front door is not a Commons. Your
impression is wrong.

And cyclists have a right to use public roads, except under
express restriction or prohibition.


cheers, & IANAL,
Tom
