333 Dividing strips, etc

• (1) The council may on any road construct, erect, or grow thereon or remove therefrom such barriers, dividing strips, guiding or sign posts, pillars or other markers, trees, hedges, lawns, gardens, and other devices as are, in the opinion of the council, necessary for separating, guiding, or warning traffic, intercepting glare, or for any other purpose.

  (2) The council may on any road construct for road safety purposes, and alter or remove therefrom, any segregation strip for the purpose of segregating from the roadway any land having a frontage to the road:

  Provided that no such segregation strip shall be constructed or altered so as to unreasonably prevent access to any land having a frontage to the road:

  Provided also that for the purposes of this Act and of any other Act, any land having a frontage to the road before the construction of a segregation strip shall be deemed to continue to have that frontage, notwithstanding the existence of the segregation strip.
