1a
The Seas, and Lakes, and Rivers where men can pass in boats and vessels of any kind, are the highways of the nations: thou mayest travel them: no man shall hinder.
2
¶ Deserts, and forests, and waste places are also highways for the people: thou mayest pass over them, and none shall prevent thee.
3
¶ The king may make great roads from city to city, and wheresoever the good of his people requires them, either by land or by water.
4
¶ The king shall appoint Elders, discreet men to keep his highways, and to receive tribute of those that use them, that there may be money to make and preserve them forever.
5a
¶ The king may also grant unto others to make highways, and to receive tribute for the use of them, that they may be recompensed for the labor they have done:
5b
They shall not be oppressive in their charges: the king shall restrain them according to justice.
6
¶ The king shall appoint Elders in all the cities, and towns, and villages, to establish, make and preserve roads in all the country round about, as his people have need.
7
¶ The king shall grant unto them a portion of the tithing of his people for the making of roads for the common use of all, without cost, that nothing obstruct you in your travels.
8a
¶ The king's highway shall be made in the best place, and no man shall hinder; it is for all the people to pass over.
8b
But in making roads the Elders shall spare every man's inheritance, unless the necessity for crossing it be very great.
9
¶ In the cities, and towns, and villages, ye shall make streets, and lanes, and alleys, with sidewalks, and crosswalks.
10
¶ And in the highways, and roads, and streets, ye shall plant trees, and shrubs, and grass, and they shall be pleasant and beautiful.
