Roads Board: progress for whole networks: The Roads Board and its sub groups are continuing to develop more efficient ways of managing entire road networks for all UK authorities

摘要

Highway authorities are adopting a new approach to managing their road networks for greater efficiency - largely due to the efforts of a few key groups of engineers. These include the UK Roads Board and its sub committees which have played a major part in introduction of asset management to highway engineering; and whose work continues to develop invaluable advice and guidance. Highway asset management has been in gestation for the past 10 years or so and is now the preferred method for informing better short and long term investment decisions. Strong support has come from the Department for Transport (DfT) and Her Majesty's Treasury.
