In short
Dangerous-goods transport follows ADR, RID, IMDG and ICAO-TI and national rules; Class 1 movements generally require separate approval and route or terminal confirmation.
Class 1 requires public-security authorization; alpine tunnels, urban bypasses, ferry bookings and port limits may determine the permitted route. Operational acceptance must be confirmed before dispatch. The named primary authority is Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport; shipment-specific permits and current operational acceptance should be verified before booking.

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.
