Instead, you can only get on or off at specific, designated points.\n- This is typically done to improve traffic flow, reduce accidents, or protect the road's condition.\n\n**What exactly is affected:**\n- **Two sections of Bridport Main Road** in northern Tasmania (totaling about 16.2 kilometres):\n  - A 7.83 km stretch west and east of Emily Street (near Mickca Rivulet)\n  - An 8.39 km stretch from near Bellingham Road to Yarrow Creek\n\n**Where you CAN enter or exit:**\nThe proclamation lists **8 specific places** where drivers are allowed to access the road, including:\n- Ada Street\n- Bridport Back Road\n- Ferny Hill Road\n- Saltwood Road\n- Bellingham Road\n- Pipers Brook Road\n- Red Road\n- Hall Road\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Local residents, farmers, and businesses along this route who need to know where they can legally enter the main road\n- Transport planners and road maintenance authorities\n- Anyone driving in the Bridport area\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis creates a legal framework controlling how the road is used.
