17Arrangements for network managementE+W

This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

(1)A local traffic authority shall make such arrangements as they consider appropriate for planning and carrying out the action to be taken in performing the network management duty.

(2)The arrangements must include provision for the appointment of a person (to be known as the “traffic manager”) to perform such tasks as the authority consider will assist them to perform their network management duty.

(3)The traffic manager may (but need not) be an employee of the authority.

(4)The arrangements must include provision for establishing processes for ensuring (so far as may be reasonably practicable) that the authority—

(a)identify things (including future occurrences) which are causing, or which have the potential to cause, road congestion or other disruption to the movement of traffic on their road network; and

(b)consider any possible action that could be taken in response to (or in anticipation of) anything so identified;

but nothing in this subsection is to be taken to require the identification or consideration of anything appearing to have only an insignificant effect (or potential effect) on the movement of traffic on their road network.

(5)The arrangements must include provision for ensuring that the authority—

(a)determine specific policies or objectives in relation to different roads or classes of road in their road network;

(b)monitor the effectiveness of—

(i)the authority's organisation and decision-making processes; and

(ii)the implementation of their decisions; and

(c)assess their performance in managing their road network.

(6)The authority must keep under review the effectiveness of the arrangements they have in place under this section.
