Highways Agency

Whether we’re driving our cars or our careers, we’re all looking to get somewhere. And for most of us, we want to progress as quickly and efficiently as possible. Well that’s exactly what the Highways Agency is all about. Find out more about HA traffic technology.

By joining us, you’ll help us to deliver our biggest challenge in our ten-year history. With more vehicles on our highways than ever before, we have broadened our duties to traffic management so we can reduce congestion on the roads. All 8000km of them. After all, improving our traffic-flow safety and efficiency affects more than just drivers, it affects the environment too. Which is why Traffic Technology is so vitally important.

Using advanced systems that incorporate technology such as CCTV, variable message signs, speed control systems and active traffic management, we’re able to keep some of our busiest road networks flowing. But, more than that, we’re always researching and developing state-of-the-art technology to better manage these routes.

If you’re from a traffic, scientific, electrical engineering, telecommunications or computer systems background - why not take on the challenge of keeping 40 million customers moving? By joining either our Traffic Operations Directorate or Safety, Standards and Research Directorate, you’ll help support England’s future as well as your own.
