The Special Roads Act 1949 (c.32) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that:

  • Authorised the construction of special roads (that became known as motorways)
  • 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    • The Special Roads Act was repealed and replaced by the Highways Act 1959, and later the Highways Act 1980.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.
