Admiralty Road is a public right of way, number I07, designated as a Byway Open to All Traffic (or B.O.A.T.). This previously applied to the whole length of the road, but the road has been truncated now, at the junction ahead, and the designation of the right of way truncated to a point behind us, according to recent mapping. This seems to coincide with the change in surface, from regular tarmacking with pavements behind us, compared with the rougher surface ahead. See Image for the next view behind us, and Image for the view across the junction ahead onto the former continuation of the road. Each has links to further photos in each direction.
