The Role of the Highway Engineer

The vast majority of development proposals will bring about some form of impact on the local transport network, be it an increase in traffic or pedestrian movements, that could have an impact on safety and network operation, additional demand on public transport network or the simple formation of a new access which could have implications on the adjacent highway and neighbouring properties. These matters are considered by the Highway Engineer whose involvement will relate to the scale and nature of the development proposal, and will be able to advise on how any adverse impacts of the development can be cost effectively mitigated, with the aim of providing an improved transport network to the benefit of all users

Our website provides a brief overview of the Highway Engineer’s role in a major project.
