Essential Legislation for Transport Planners

Course Overview

The reduction in personnel within many local authorities has led to internal staff and term consultants having to become familiar with wider and varying areas of activity, often without being provided sufficient training on the legal requirements placed on highway authorities. In addition, current pressures on the management of a highway network plus the delivery of projects can often mean that not all practitioners have a clear understanding of the powers, duties, legal and administrative bases on which these are maintained, managed and promoted.

This one-day course provides an essential insight into the distinction between law and guidance and the risks that can arise from any departure. It will cover the main duties, statutory and discretionary powers and obligations placed on highway and traffic practitioners by UK highway and traffic legislation.

Who should attend?

This course is suitable for new recruits to highway authorities, consultants working with highway authorities, more experienced practitioners who require an update on recent legislation and current powers and responsibilities, specialists seeking a broader understanding of highway and traffic legislation, and team managers.
