58 Acquisition of land for future use
The powers of a corporation to acquire land for highway purposes, or to acquire highway rights over land, may be exercised notwithstanding that the land is not intended immediately to be used for any of those purposes.
Where highway rights have been acquired by a corporation over any land, no person may claim a right of passage over that land until the corporation opens the land to the public as a highway.
Nothing in subsection (2) prejudices the operation of section 4 of the Highways Act 1951.
