## Description

One of the principal duties of National Highways is to secure the expeditious movement of traffic on the Strategic Road Network \(SRN\) and protect its safety\. In recent years, National Highways has experienced some well-publicised protests on or near the SRN\. These protests have necessitated National Highways having to obtain civil injunctive relief and pursue contempt of court proceedings to protect the SRN from disruption, minimise economic damage and keep road users and protesters safe\.
