Why are we doing this?
The Highways Agency has a set of strategic plans for the road network. RMS is the system we want to use to take these plans from the drawing board and into reality - roads that better serve people who use them.
But the Highways Agency is just one player in the job of keeping our roads moving. For example, multimodal studies are looking at major transport problems affecting some routes. Route Management Strategies are not about building new roads. They are about making better use of the roads we already have.
We can't do this alone: local councils, regional planning authorities, bus and lorry operators, train companies and the police all have a contribution to make.
That's why each route management strategy has a carefully thought out process to involve as many people as possible -road users, people living nearby and campaign groups.
