Public Works Act 1981

Acquisition of land for public works - Defining middle line of road or railway

36: Procedures for defining middle line

You could also call this:

"Rules for finding the middle of a road or railway have been removed"

You should know that the law about how to define the middle line of a road or railway has been removed. This part of the law was taken out on 1 October 1991. It used to be part of the Public Works Act 1981, but it's not there anymore. The government decided they didn't need this rule anymore, so they got rid of it.
