Details
This document sets out a policy framework to ensure our traffic system meets the future needs of all road users, while building upon the existing and established traffic sign system.
It sets out recommendations, including how to:
reduce regulation and provide more flexibility for local authorities
reduce traffic signing on the road network
deliver effective enforcement
improve signs and traffic signals for pedestrians and cyclists
allow more innovative measures to be used on the roads
provide road users with better information
develop local solutions built on local knowledge
The department will implement these recommendations in stages.
