part of the roadway that is currently intended for transport purposes

NOTE 1 to entry The travelled way does not include hard shoulders, hardstanding3.1.17), or other areas that are not currently intended for normal operational use. In other words, while these other areas are “designed” for transport purposes, they are not “intended” for normal transport purposes (at present); rather these extra areas exist for safety and other exceptional use conditions.

NOTE 2 to entry While the limits of the roadway are defined by the design of the physical infrastructure and are generally static; the limits of the travelled way can be dynamic, such as in the case of a hard shoulder for emergency use3.4.1) being converted into hard shoulder running3.4.2) operation.
