In short

Dangerous-goods transport follows ADR, IMDG and ICAO-TI and national rules; Class 1 movements generally require separate approval and route or terminal confirmation.

Road carriage follows ADR, rail carriage uses national rules aligned with RID or UNRTDG, and sea and air consignments use IMDG and ICAO-TI. Class 1 requires prior explosives or security approval, with route, tunnel, border, port and airport conditions confirmed before movement. The named primary authority is Road Transport Department; shipment-specific permits and current operational acceptance should be verified before booking.

What governs each mode

Derived from the frameworks named above. A mode absent from this list is not necessarily closed — it means the sheet does not record a framework governing it here, which is itself worth asking about.
