 A highway can share ground with a private right of way for which full use is not available to the general public as often will be the case with farm roads which the owner may use for any purpose but for which the general public only has a right of use on foot or horseback.The status of "highway" on most older roads has been gained by established public use while newer roads are typically "dedicated" as highways from the time they are adopted (taken into the care and control of a council or other public authority).In England and Wales, a public highway is also known as ""The Queen's Highway"".
