Quick Summary

A homeowner is questioning whether neighbours, who have their own separate passage, can use a recently paved road that was previously a common passage for the homeowner and their immediate neighbours. The consensus suggests that if the road is a municipal or public road maintained by the local authority, then anyone, including these neighbours, has the right to use it, regardless of its original designation.

every one have right to use municipal roads and public roads

Once it is meant for public usage and roads are laid by the local authority, not only your neighbors, anyone can use the road. The query is not stating facts as to whether the owners of the road permitted local authorities to use it as a public passage and laying of the road is important.
