The provisions of this Act (except subsections (i) and (2) of section nine) shall apply in relation to the roads described in the Third Schedule to this Act (being roads which are trunk roads by virtue of orders made under section one of the Trunk Roads Act, 1946) as if they were special roads to be provided by the Minister in pursuance of schemes made under section one of this Act for the use of traffic of the classes specified in the third column of that Schedule.

Where, at any time before the commencement of this Act, the Minister has given notice in accordance with the provisions of the Second Schedule to the Trunk Roads Act, 1946, that he proposes to make an order under section one of that Act directing that any road shall become a trunk road, then if such an order is made within one year after the commencement of this Act, the order may direct that the road shall be provided by the Minister as a special road for the use of traffic of such classes as may be specified in the order ; and the provisions of this Act (except subsections (1) and (2) of section nine) shall apply in relation to the order as they apply in relation to schemes under this Act.

Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing provisions, the power conferred by this Act to revoke or vary schemes or orders made thereunder shall include power to revoke or vary any such order as is mentioned in subsection (1) or subsection (2) of this section, and to vary the provisions of the third column of the Third Schedule to this Act.
