The Goa, Daman and Diu Highways Act, 1974 provides a legal framework for the declaration, construction, maintenance, and development of highways in the region. It regulates building activities and land use adjacent to highways to prevent unplanned development and unsafe encroachments along road margins. Applying to landowners, developers, local authorities, and the general public across Goa, Daman, and Diu, the law empowers designated highway authorities to acquire land, remove unauthorized structures, levy tolls, and enforce traffic safety measures. This legislation is vital for ensuring well-managed transport infrastructure, safer transit routes, orderly urban growth, and protected public roadways across the territory.
