The Governor, shall, under this Law be empowered to —
cause any roads to be classified and scheduled as public roads;
cause the schedules of such public roads to be published in the Gazette from time to time; and
ensure the implementation of this Law and the regulations.
Whenever it becomes necessary or desirable for the purposes of this Law to define any public road or proposed public road by reference to the composite map, that function shall be performed by the Governor; and the composite maps on which roads or proposed roads are so defined are hereinafter referred to as "prescribed composite maps", and, where it is desirable to distinguish between roads as proposed and roads as actually built, the prescribed composite maps may be divided into categories for that purpose.
Subject to section 17(3), the Governor may —
assign or delegate any of his functions under this Law (other than the power to make regulations) to any public officer or officers or to any statutory corporation; and
provide, by regulations, for liaison and collaboration between any such assignees or delegates and such other persons as may be prescribed.
The assignment or delegation of any function of the Governor under this Law shall not prevent the exercise of that function by the Governor himself.
Public roads and any proposed public roads shall be classified into —
primary arterial roads;
secondary arterial roads;
collector roads;
access roads; and
public footpaths.
The Governor, upon recommendation by the Roads Authority may, by regulations, provide for —
prescribing the attributes and characteristics of each category of roads and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, establishing standards for the dimensions, design, maintenance and improvement, and such other features as he thinks fit in relation to such roads:
controlling the type, weight and other particulars of vehicles which may be used on any such category of road so as to ensure the proper purpose of that category of road; and
repeal, amendment or replacement of the First Schedule.
Until other provision is made under subsection (6), the provisions set out in the First Schedule shall be the attributes and characteristics of the various categories of roads referred to therein.
