Protected Routes Definition and Categories
Protected Routes are main roads subject to access control, comprising primary routes, routes between principal towns or cross-border, routes to ports and airports, and selected high-traffic-flow routes that form part of the Regional Strategic Transport Network.
The roads onto which this policy of access control is exercised are known as 'Protected Routes' and comprise:
• primary routes;
• routes between the principal town in each District and/or cross border;
• routes to ports and airports; and
• selected routes with high traffic flows.
This encompasses the roads element of the Regional Strategic Transport Network contained in the Regional Development Strategy.
