T.RD.M.V.2.6
6.3.7 Access
6.3.7.1 Access to and from any Expressway should be provided only at the regularly spaced grade
separated junctions, as access at any other location should be prohibited. Direct access off
slip roads, which must be regarded as an integral part of an Expressway, should not for any
reason be permitted.
6.3.7.2 Intermediate access, for whatever purpose, must not be allowed, and the boundary fence
must be regularly maintained to ensure that no illegal accesses are created,
6.3.7.3 Before a road can be designated as an Expressway any existing unauthorised accesses must
be effectively curtailed and physically closed up. The same applies to any authorised
accesses, such as, entrances/exits from service roads, bus stops, or similar, which must be
removed and/or relocated away from the Expressway before the road may be considered as
an Expressway.
6.3.7.4 Pedestrians and animals are prohibited from using any Expressway. However following a
vehicle breakdown, a driver is permitted to walk along the verge or hard shoulder to reach
the nearest emergency telephone and thus the verge should be designed with this in mind, to
discourage the driver from walking on the carriageway.
