[Talk-GB] Other Route with Public Access (ORPA)

[Richard Mann]

You can find out from the same place that OS finds out - the Local Authority.

I don't think they're generally signed (any more than any other minor
public road), it's just that they're passable, there's no "Private
Keep Out" signs, and the Highways team has a note that they've got
responsibility for them (not that they'll actually do anything to them
if they can help it).
