CLASSIFICATION OF INTERNATIONAL ROADS

International roads are classed as follows:

1. Motorways

‘Motorway’ means a road specially designed and built for motor traffic, which does not serve properties bordering on it, and which:

(i) Is provided, except at special points or temporarily, with separate carriageways for the two directions of traffic, separated from each other by a dividing strip not intended for traffic or, exceptionally, by other means,

(ii) Does not cross at level with any road, railway or tramway track, or footpath; and

(iii) Is specially sign-posted as a motorway.

2. Express roads

An express road is a road reserved for motor traffic accessible from interchanges or controlled junctions only and which:

(i) Prohibits stopping and parking on the running carriageway(s); and

(ii) Does not cross at level with any railway or tramway track, or footpath.

3. Ordinary roads

An ordinary road is one open to all categories of users and vehicles. It may have a single carriageway or separate carriageways.

International roads should preferably be motorways or express roads.
