It does two main things:\n\n**1. Declares a limited access road**\n- A specific 8.99 kilometre stretch of the **Midland Highway** in Tasmania (from near Old Main Road, Bridgewater to the existing Midland Highway, including the Pontville Roundabout) is now classified as a **\"limited access road\"**.\n- **What this means:** A limited access road is a road where property owners and the public don't have automatic rights to enter or exit wherever they want. Access is restricted to specific points only — usually to improve traffic flow and safety.\n\n**2. Lists where you CAN get on and off**\n- The proclamation specifies **9 approved access points** along this stretch, including:\n  - East Derwent Highway\n  - Glenstone Main Road (two locations)\n  - Parkholme Drive\n  - Bluemetal Drive\n  - Brighton Road\n  - Hove Way\n  - Tea Tree Secondary Road (two locations)\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Drivers using this section of the Midland Highway\n- Property owners and businesses along this stretch (they can only access the highway at the listed points)\n- Local councils and planning authorities\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis type of declaration is typically used to upgrade a road to highway standard, improve safety by reducing conflict points (like random driveways onto a fast road), and manage traffic flow. It effectively \"locks down\" the road so new access points can't be created without government approval."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2024-007","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2024-007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2024-007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2024-007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2024-007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2024-007/documents"}}
