Well-Maintained Highways

Well-Maintained Highways, the code of practice for highway maintenance management was published in July 2005. It provides local authorities with guidance on highways management in an ever changing environment, creating a strong foundation for a positive and lasting maintenance policy. Adoption of the recommendations in this code will help the delivery of Best Value services.

The Code was drafted by a team from Atkins on behalf of the UK Roads Board. It is one of a suite of Codes commissioned by the UK Roads Liaison Group.

The Code is available as an Adobe Acrobat file here. Print copies (ISBN 0 11 552643 0) are published by The Stationery Office (TSO), price £18, and can be ordered from www.tso.co.uk/bookshop or by calling 0870 600 5522.  Please note that the print copy from TSO is the 2005 document and does not incorporate the latest updates.
