Highway Network Management

Description of Service: Making the best use of our current road network, given all the competing demands upon it and helping to maintain the highway infrastructure. The Isle of Wight Council Highway Authority has a mandatory duty to co-ordinate works in order to facilitate the expeditious movement of traffic on the authority’s road network. It needs to consider the needs of all road users, including utilities, when carrying out that duty. This process must identify current and future causes of disruption and collate and consider the timing of planned works or events. An underlying principle which guides us is that reliable journey times are extremely important to the vast majority of road users.
