Roads.
The arterial road network comprises two elements:
       * arterial roads within urban areas, which are major traffic collectors and distributors
       * the network of peripheral parkways which carry traffic between towns along routes lying largely at the periphery of the built‑up areas.

Policies for national and arterial roads
 1.        The National and Arterial Roads System will:
          1.             generally not provide frontage access to development, except where such access will meet appropriate design standards and road safety needs
          2.             generally intersect with the local road network through distributor roads.
 1.       The final alignment of proposed arterial roads is subject to consultation with the National Capital Authority.

3.1.4 Inter‑town Public Transport System
Figure 2 'General Policy Plan – Metropolitan Canberra' sets out the general location of Inter‑town public transport corridor within the Territory.

Policies for Inter‑town Public Transport System
 1.        Public transport planning and provision will:
          1.             Reserve a route for the development of a public transport service to link major employment nodes. As far as practicable the service will be segregated from other transport systems and will operate with priority of right‑of‑way.
          2.             A corridor between the city centre, the town centres and major employment nodes, suitable for priority or segregated right‑of‑way for use by public transport services will be reserved against a possible future need to develop a system of inter town and express routes suitable for buses or other public transit modes as appropriate.

3.1.5 General policies for all land use categories
 1.        Aircraft noise under airfield approaches is an unavoidable by‑product of flying operations associated with airports. The Australian Noise Exposure Forecast (ANEF) system, expressed by noise contours centred on the airport, is a scientific measure of forecast noise exposure levels based on current and future projections of operational activities in the vicinity of the runway approaches. The system can assist in planning and development decision making. Information about forecast noise exposure in relation to Canberra International Airport can be obtained from the Commonwealth agencies with responsibility for aircraft noise regulation.
 2.       Protected airspace provisions in relation to Canberra International Airport apply to development independently of the Plan. To satisfy a requirement of the Airports (Protection of Airspace) Regulations 1996, Canberra International Airport Pty Ltd has prepared a diagram prescribing protected airspace. The diagram is incorporated in the Airport Master Plan prepared under the Airports Act 1996. Detailed information may be obtained from the Commonwealth agency with responsibility for protected airspace.
 3.        Within five kilometres of Mount Stromlo, development or installations which may, through night time illumination or significant vibration, adversely affect the operation of the Mount Stromlo Observatory or the associated seismological vault at Mount Stromlo, must be referred to the Australian National University for examination
