Road Safety Assessments

Operator Licensing

Most road haulage companies as well as bus & coach operators will have to apply to their appropriate Traffic Commissioner for an Operators Licence before they can conduct their business legally. The application requires the applicant to list their number of vehicles and trailers and the address of their operating centre (where the vehicles are normally kept). The application has to be advertised in order that residents and stakeholders can have the opportunity in which to object.

PAF, with their experience and knowledge of transport operators licensing and road safety engineering, advise haulage and bus companies with regards to their preferred choice and location of new and additional operating centres. PAF help and advise with issues such as changes to road geometry and internal traffic management layout ensuring safe routes around the site and public highway.

PAF produce road safety assessment reports to submit to the Traffic Commissioner in support of any application or variation as well as attending Public Inquiry to give expert witness evidence.
