The Special Roads Act 1949 (c.32) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that:
- Authorised the construction of special roads
- Allowed these roads to be restricted to specific types of vehicles
The Special Roads Act was repealed and replaced by the Highways Act 1959, and later the Highways Act 1980. It did not apply to Northern Ireland.
Famous quotes containing the words special, roads and/or act:
“Myths, as compared with folk tales, are usually in a special category of seriousness: they are believed to have “really happened,” or to have some exceptional significance in explaining certain features of life, such as ritual. Again, whereas folk tales simply interchange motifs and develop variants, myths show an odd tendency to stick together and build up bigger structures. We have creation myths, fall and flood myths, metamorphose and dying-god myths.”
—Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
“Then the master said to the slave, Go out into the roads and lanes, and compel people to come in, so that my house may be filled.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 14:23.
“Just as a waterfall grows slower and more lightly suspended as it plunges down, so the great man of action tends to act with greater calmness than his tempestuous desires prior to the deed would lead one to expect.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
