What signs can be placed on or adjacent to a PRoW?

Lincolnshire County Council as Highway Authority has a duty to signpost rights of way, where they leave a road.  In the case of paths which are surfaced for their entire length and run between boundaries in built up areas are exempt from this duty.

The Highway Authority has powers to provide waymarks along rights of way, for example on stiles and kissing gates at field boundaries to indicate the line of the path.

A landowner may not erect misleading signs likely to deter people from using a right of way.  A sign “Private Road” placed on a track which is also a byway would be a misleading sign, but not necessarily if it was on a footpath or bridleway. Highway Authorities have powers to order the removal of misleading notices.
