Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

You cannot drive or move a vehicle or animal onto or from a limited access road except in certain situations. You can do this at a road where you were allowed to drive or move onto the limited access road before it was declared as such. You can also do this at a road where the council has given permission for vehicles or animals to access the limited access road, as long as you follow the conditions set by the council. Additionally, you can cross a limited access road at a place authorised by the council, subject to conditions imposed by the council in accordance with section 346D or section 346E.
