At common law, a "highway" is a way over which all members of the public have the right to pass and repass without hindrance. A so-called limited-access highway is a highway which, by statute modifying the common law, has never permitted other than motorized traffic to use the highway. (Arguably a limited-access highway is not truly a highway because is closed to so many members of the public such it is not really open to the public.)In the situation present here in city of New York, no legislature has closed the highways, other than those designated as limited-access highways, and under the common law, pedestrians have just as much right to use the highways as others. |
