<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>
