The Role of the Highway Engineer

It is invariably the case that the majority of development proposals will bring about some impact on the local road network, be it an increase in traffic or pedestrian movement, additional demand on public transport or the simple formation of a new access. These matters are addressed by the Highway Engineer whose involvement will relate to the scale and nature of the development proposal.
