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The Special Roads Act was repealed and replaced by the Highways Act 1959, and later the Highways Act 1980.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.
