Restricted Byway Sections 47-50 of the 2000 Act introduce a new category of highway called 
the “restricted byway”. A restricted byway is defined as a highway over which 
the public have restricted byway rights, with or without the right to drive 
animals of any description.  This replaced the concept of a "road used as a public path".
