This improves traffic flow and safety by preventing random turns and crossings.\n\n**What the proclamation does:**\n- **Schedule 1** defines exactly which section of highway is affected (shown on 13 specific survey plans)\n- **Schedule 2** lists **36 specific places** where drivers are legally allowed to enter or exit this stretch of road — including roads like Dallas Road, Rocky Cape Road, Stanley Highway, and various local streets\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Drivers using this section of the Bass Highway in north-west Tasmania\n- Property owners along the highway (who may need to use the designated access points)\n- Local councils and road authorities responsible for maintaining these access points\n\n**Why it matters:**\n- It makes the highway safer by controlling where traffic merges\n- It prevents property owners from creating new driveways or access points onto a high-speed road\n- It provides legal certainty about where entry and exit is permitted"},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The proclamation sets out the limits of a specified Bass Highway segment and enumerates permitted access locations (Schedules 1 and 2).
