Is direct access to motorways allowed from adjoining properties?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is No. According to legal definitions and road safety rules, one of the fundamental characteristics defining a motorway is that it has total access control. This means that adjoining properties (houses, farms, businesses located next to it) do not have direct access to the main carriageway, as this would interrupt the fast traffic flow and create high-risk situations. Access must always be via service roads or specifically enabled interchanges.
