Highway boundaries

Norfolk County Council are the highway authority in Norfolk. This means we have a legal duty (under Section 130 of the Highways Act 1980) to ensure all Norfolk's public highways are maintained so the public can freely pass and repass over them. 

This applies to all types of publicly maintainable highway, including public rights of way.

Our mapping tool has information on the roads, footways, and cycleways that are maintainable by us.
