Highway Issues

Road Geometry & Features: Highway Authorities are responsible for ensuring that correct and recognised standards are applied and maintained. Our consultants can investigate non-compliance of these standards and assess and comment upon design criteria, road signs/markings, street lighting, vehicle restraint systems and visibility.

Highway Maintenance: The Highways Act 1980 set out the main duties of Highway Authorities, in particular section 40 imposes a duty to maintain the highway network. PAF can inspect the highway infrastructure, such as road & footway condition, traffic signs and drainage. Likewise we can request highway inspection documentation from authorities to ascertain if and at what intervals safety inspections are conducted and what remedial measures were implemented.
