Motorways

139: Middle line procedures

You could also call this:

“Old rules about the middle of motorways have been removed from this law”

This part of the law used to explain how to deal with the middle line of motorways. The middle line is the imaginary line that runs down the centre of the road. However, this section has been removed from the law. It was taken out on 1 October 1989. This means that the rules about middle lines for motorways are no longer part of this law. If you want to know about current rules for motorways, you might need to look at other, more recent laws.
