This type of dressing seals the old road surface, preventing the ingress of water which causes deterioration of the road surface, and the road matrix and thus reducing the risk of wider scale deterioration and road failure. When designed and laid properly they pose no additional risks. On many roads, where traffic flow are not excessively high, surface dressings have been shown to be both cost-effective and sustainable.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Highways Agency, responsible for the motorway and trunk road network, do not routinely use this type of dressing due to the high traffic flows.

We have instead modelled a range of possible take-up rates, up to 75%. In order to strengthen our understanding of the potential impact of this policy, we have commissioned an independent social research company to gather further evidence and we will also be able to draw upon responses from the current consultation.</p><p> </p><p /> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 11/09/2014 13:59:32 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
