Removing this status means these road sections **revert to normal road rules** — likely allowing more entry/exit points, property access, or local traffic movements. This typically happens when a highway is downgraded, urban development changes the area, or traffic management needs evolve.\n\nThe changes took effect when published in the government Gazette on 13 July 2016."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"A positive credit balance is required for all requests, including BYOK, so fallback providers remain available.
