DfT Traffic Signs Review

September 2008

Tim Askew of enterprisemouchel will represent IHIE on the Government's root and branch Traffic Signs Review announced by Rosie Winterton MP, Transport Minister on 13 September. The steering group is expected to deliver an action plan, for the review itself, by the middle of next year.

Richard Buckley, DfT head of Traffic Management, gave delegates at IHIE's "Traffic Signs 2008" a foretaste of the reasoning behind the impending review. Poor public understanding of signs was highlighted by TPI's research for the Department in 2004 and street clutter has been a recurring theme at the IHIE annual signs conference for several years. The Institute has welcomed the review - which will also include signals - and hopes that it's Signs Group led by Simon Morgan of Buchanan Computing and John Taylor of Atkins will prove a useful sounding board for developing ideas.

A forum will be set up on www.ihie.org.uk for your ideas.
