Required for Widening: means that an obligation runs with that land to dedicate it as a highway when requested to do so by the highway authority. The authority must tender an amount in compensation which would normally be determined as at the date the widening line was originally set out on the sealed plan.

See the dotted line running through lot 2 on the plan adjoining. NOT to be confused with the word "ROAD" on a Sealed Plan, which has a precise legal meaning and dedicates the land NOW as Public Road.

SIMPLY

In the course of obtaining a permit from a local authority to subdivide a parcel, some portion of the land may be required in the future for road widening purposes. This land can be taken at the time of subdivision and is shown as 'Road Widening' on the survey plan, or can be taken at a later date and is shown as 'Required for Road Widening'
