You could also call this:

"What special words mean in the law about limited access roads"

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

When you read sections 346A to 346J, you need to know what some words mean. A limited access road is a road that has been declared as one under section 346A. You can find more information about this in section 346A.

When you see the word road, it does not include an access way or a service lane. This is what these words mean in the context of limited access roads. You can find the actual rules in sections 346A to 346J.
