When a road is 'de-gazetted' (removed from the official list), it usually means the road is no longer needed as a main through-route, or local conditions have changed. This particular section appears to be an interchange ramp system that may have been reconfigured or is being handed over to local control."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[],"contradictions":[]}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-1998-147","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-1998-147/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-1998-147/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-1998-147/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-1998-147/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-1998-147/documents"}}
