If you take a borough like Haringey then a large percentage of Road are not
adopted roadways... all the estate Roads of Housing estate Roads built after
1960 are private

You could be barred from using them, they are permissive roads only to gain
access to Council Houses. If you buy a house on an estate the Council grant
you specific rights of way over the estate roads

If anyone rembers the Old West Green LT garage in wood Green ( used by BT
until 1990,s) the road was adopted up to the garage but owned by LT from the
garage onward. This road now serves Houses in Willow walk N22, The next Road
Milton Road N22 in totally private half owned by the owners either side ( so
if you want somewhere to park in Wood Green park on the West side of Milton
Road, The Council Estate CPZ on Milton Road does not apply)
