This improves traffic flow and safety by preventing random turns and crossings.\n- **Removes limited access status from old sections** – Two older sections totalling about 6 kilometres are no longer restricted, meaning drivers can access them normally again.\n- **Lists exactly where you can get on and off** – Five specific access points are named, including John Lees Drive (north and south), Magazine Road, and Windemere Road.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Drivers using the East Tamar Highway between Barnards Creek Bridge and Mount Direction\n- Local residents and businesses near John Lees Drive, Magazine Road, and Windemere Road\n- Property owners whose land access may be affected by the restricted entry/exit rules\n\n**Why it matters:**\nLimited access roads reduce accidents and congestion by controlling where traffic enters the main highway. This proclamation appears to be updating the highway configuration—likely due to road upgrades or a new alignment—by adding new controlled sections while freeing up older sections for normal access."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"A positive credit balance is required for all requests, including BYOK, so fallback providers remain available.
