Access ways and service lanes

136: Minister may construct access ways and service lanes

You could also call this:

“Minister's old power to build special roads is gone”

The Minister used to have the power to build access ways and service lanes. However, this power no longer exists. The law that allowed this was removed on 1 October 1989. This means that now, the Minister cannot construct access ways and service lanes under this specific law.
