Hi all,

I've seen a lot of signs recently declaring roads to be private. What
does
this mean?

It means that it is not adopted as a public highway by the local highway
authority (usually the local council) but is owned by the residents or the
freehold owner of the land where the houses have been built.

Presumably it also means that a right of way will not be established by
people using the road.
