Route

Route, means a line of travel which specifies the highway which maybe traversed by a motor vehicle between one terminus and another. [Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, s. 2 (38)]Under s. 2(28A) inserted by s. 2 of Act 56 of 1969 the word 'route' has been defined as meaning 'a line of travel which specifies the highway which may be traversed by a motor vehicle between one terminus and another', Mysore State Road Transport Corporation v. Mysore State Transport Appellate Tribunal, AIR 1974 SC 1940: (1975) 1 SCR 615: (1974) 2 SCC 750.A route as defined is a line of travel between two termini on a highway, but the idea of a route as a notional line that the definition suggests has not been consistently maintained in the Act.
