TRL is involved in advising on all aspects of highway maintenance including streetworks, lighting, winter maintenance, footways and utilities.

A key government aim is to reduce congestion and disruption to journeys by road. The Traffic Management Act 2004 aims to provide better conditions for all road users through the proactive management of the national and local road networks. The Act places a duty on local traffic authorities to keep traffic flowing on their road networks.

TRL helps local authorities meet their obligations under the Traffic Management Act by providing better conditions for all their network users. Benefits include:

• less traffic disruption
• efficient and economic works management
• effective co-operation and co-ordination with utilities, developers etc.
• less public dissatisfaction
• improved public image.

TRL is uniquely placed to work with local traffic authorities on this issue, having been specialist consultants for the Department for Transport in drafting the Traffic Management Act and having staff with recent and extensive knowledge and experience of highway and traffic management in local traffic authorities.
