Public Highway is defined as the area that extends across which description?

• A. The sidewalk adjacent to a public road
• B. Only private driveways
• C. The entire width between boundary lines of any public road open for motor vehicle travel
• D. The trunk and engine bay

Answer: (C)

Public Highway means the portion of a public road that motor vehicles may use, defined as the entire width between the boundary lines of the road when it is open for vehicular travel. Sidewalks are for pedestrians and private driveways aren’t part of the public highway, and the trunk and engine bay are parts of a vehicle, not the road itself. So the correct description is the full width between boundary lines of the road open to vehicle travel.
