With on-street parking restrictions and the ever-increasing numbers of vehicles on our roads, the numbers of requests from residents for “Vehicle Crossings” is unlikely to decrease.

Best Practice - Traffic Detector Loops
Traffic Detector Loops are placed in the upper layers of the road surface and are essential for the efficient operation of signalised junctions and bus lanes, enabling prioritisation of demand for busy urban routes. They are also installed at various locations for monitoring traffic flows, usually primary network roads, and for other sites for collecting vital data for traffic management schemes. This Good Practice Guide seeks to assist those who will encounter such equipment and direct them in minimising the damage caused to traffic detector loops.

Introduction

Note:

At the SEHAUC meeting of 15th March 2002 it was agreed that the Regional Agreements would be renamed SEHAUC Agreed Working Procedures in order to remove any conflict with S100 of the NRSWA prior to publication on the SEHAUC web site.

Purpose of Agreed Working Procedures

To clarify areas of the Codes of Practice and Regulations, in order to achieve a common understanding and practice within the South East Regional HAUC.

To promote South East Agreed Working Procedures to National HAUC for consideration and adoption on a National basis

To maintain and improve the good working arrangement between Highway Authorities and Statutory Undertakers.

Operation of Agreed Working Procedures

SEHAUC Agreed Working Procedures shall not violate existing legislation in respect of Codes of Practice and Regulations.

Highway Authorities and Statutory Undertakers of SEHAUC shall comply with all Agreed Working Procedures.

All SEHAUC Agreements shall be passed to National HAUC via the Regional HAUC Representatives Group.

SEHAUC Agreed Working Procedures shall be reviewed on an annual basis and reaffirmed at the last calendar month meeting each year.

SEHAUC Agreements will be itemised in a document containing agreed decisions. The items will be authenticated by the inclusion of the signature of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of SEHAUC. Decisions will be cross-referenced to the Act, serially numbered and listed.

The documents will be contained in a loose leaf folder. One set is to be issued to each Highway Authority and Statutory Undertaker of SEHAUC. In addition a set will be held by the Chairman with the master set being held by the Secretariat. These sets will all be numbered and controlled.
