324   Provisions respecting blind roads

(1)  A road other than a pathway shall not be opened as a blind road:

(a)  unless there is also provided at least one pathway to give access from the blind end into a main, secondary, or local road, or

(b)  unless such road gives access at its blind end to a railway station, wharf, public reserve, river bank, lake, sea beach, or the shore of any tidal water, or

(c)  except where, in view of exceptional circumstances, the council approves.

(2)  A pathway shall not be opened as a blind road unless one end communicates with a main, or secondary, or local road, and, except where the council considers that there are exceptional circumstances justifying the opening of the pathway, the blind end gives access to a railway station, public wharf, public reserve, river bank, lake, sea beach, or the shore of any tidal water.

(3)  For the purposes of this section any road which does not give access at both ends to either a main, secondary, or local road shall be deemed to be a blind road.
