Our objectives
The key objective of s278 schemes is to reduce congestion and increase safety in the localised area. This includes:
- Providing an improved traffic infrastructure for Warwickshire
- Improving road safety for all road users
- Improving journey times
- Improved access to/from the strategic route network (SRN) to the local road network
- Assisting in mitigating the localised road network including the strategic road network against the potential construction impacts of HS2
We are proud to be working with a number of developers supporting them to deliver a robust road infrastructure tied into developments across the county - this could be new housing, community facilities, schools, healthcare or businesses, in line with planning conditions granted at approval stage.
Our colleagues in Network Management are instrumental when it comes to network planning and keeping the road network flowing, to limit congestion where possible, mitigate risk and inconvenience to our road users and residents across the county.
