Too lazy to follow the link? There are no roads in the cross-section of a highway.

So what do you drive on?

Can you please explain the question? For clarity page 10 in the link below shows the standard DMRB highway cross-sections and nowhere is a "road" shown.

Have you read it?

Your link is the design manual for roads.

I don't really get what your point is but a footpath is part of the road or as you want to call it the highway. Once you enter a footpath from your drive to access a dropped kerb you're on the road and you can't obstruct it.

This discussion refers to RTA 137 and if you look at the RTA the only word used is Highway, no mention of Road. So you are trying to introduce an undefined description and that doesn't help anyone.

Yet your link refers to urban and rural roads.

Oh and just to help you out.

According to the Road Traffic Act 1988, s 192(1) a ‘road’ means any highway to which the public has access. It also includes any bridges over which a road passes.

The footpath is part of that.

Road Traffic Act 1988 is solely concerned with road traffic offences and uses 192(1) to ensure that if the term "road" is used it actually means "highway". So the DMRB cross-sections apply?
Also note from 192(1)
192 General interpretation of Act.

(1) In this Act—

“footpath”, in relation to England and Wales, means a way over which the public have a right of way on foot only,
