It shall be lawful for the officer specified in the second column of the Second

Schedule or his deputy duly appointed in writing in this behalf to issue an order closing either generally or to any class of vehicles or subject to any exception, any of the highways set forth in the first column of the said Schedule or any part of any of them.

As long as an order made under this section is in force a notice stating the effect of the order shall be kept posted in a conspicuous manner at each end of the part of the highway to which the order relates and at any point at which it may be necessary for vehicles to diverge from the road.

No portion of any road which runs through the land of any owner shall be closed under this section to the owner of such road.

Provided that any such owner who uses such portion whenever such road is closed and thereby causes damage may be called upon to make good any damage so caused.

Public Works Department officials may close highways for repairs.
