answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2020 answer text <p>When designing its road works, Highways England uses the guidance provided in the Department for Transport published Traffic Signs Manual: Chapter 8. This recommends that road works are limited to a maximum of 6km (around 3 and ¾ miles), although the adoption of longer lengths of road works is permissible providing they do not create unacceptable impacts. Where longer lengths of road works are adopted, site specific risk assessments are required to identify the safe maximum length. Limiting all road works to a maximum length would increase both costs and duration of some works due to the activities undertaken.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 14/02/2020 14:33:55 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps
