The law is not a 'light' for you or any man to see by; the law is not an instrument of any kind. The law is a causeway upon which so long as he keeps to it a citizen may walk safely.
Robert Bolt

Causeway

A causeway is a road or railway route across a broad body of water or wetland raised up on an embankment. Some causeways may only be usable at low tide and the distinction between causeways and viaducts can become blurred when flood-relief culverts are incorporated in the structure; a causeway is however primarily supported on earth or stone, whereas a bridge or viaduct is mainly supported by free-standing columns or arches.

Definition of causeway in the English dictionary

The first definition of causeway in the dictionary is a raised path or road crossing water, marshland, sand, etc. Other definition of causeway is a paved footpath. Causeway is also a road surfaced with setts.
