National Guidance Framework for Operational Activities between Local Highway Authorities and the Highways Agency

National Guidance Framework

The revised National Guidance Framework re-affirms the basis for cooperation between the Highways Agency, as the operator of Motorways and All-Purpose Trunk Roads in England and the Executive of the Traffic Operations Coordinating Committee representing Local Highway Authorities (LHAs) in England.

The spirit of these agreements will be developed to maximise benefit to the travelling public using both the Agency's Network and the LHA road network. This agreement and forthcoming revisions to the Detailed Local Operating Agreements build on the foundations of an operational relationship between the Agency and LHAs that will continue to be developed and strengthened in response to operational experience, for the benefit of all parties and most importantly for the travelling public.

This NGF does not constitute a legally binding agreement or commitment between any parties but is intended to provide a basis for the voluntary partnership arrangements to be developed between the Agency and LHAs.

 The Executive Summary of this document can be examined online, and the complete document is available below for download in PDF format:
