The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-4704 by Sarah Boyack on 15 March 2000, whether it will specify every respect in which the "new dual carriageway special road" in question will be "special".
The answer
The term "special road" stems from the Special Roads Act 1949. The proposed new A1 Haddington to Dunbar dual carriageway will be a road authorised by a Special Road Scheme and restricted in respect to the classes of traffic permitted to use the road authorised under the Act by a Special Road Scheme which means that there will be restrictions in respect of the classes of traffic that can use it, similar to those which apply to motorways.
