The Project

Route Management Strategies is a technique that has been developed by the Highways Agency for managing individual trunk routes as part of the wider transport network. The final Route Management Strategy, which will help the Highways Agency in planning of and optimising investment in the M11 over a ten-year period has now been published.

This study gave road users the opportunity to comment on where problems lie and where investment may be needed over the next ten years. Feedback from a wide spectrum of users was received. Follow the publications link above to see the Consultation leaflet and the Consultation Report.

What are Route Management Strategies?

Background

The way we think about planning roads and other transport has changed. We now need to look at the regional picture, focus on local needs, and consider how we can integrate roads planning with other transport and planning decisions. The Route Management Strategy (RMS) process has been developed to help the Highways Agency to do this, by taking a strategic approach to the maintenance, operation and improvement of its network, and involving regional stakeholders and the public in the decision-making process. Each RMS will lead to the adoption of a ten-year strategy for each of the routes comprising the strategic road network.

How will we do it?

Route Management Strategy means we can take a ten year forward look covering the maintenance, operation, and improvement projects for each of the routes that make up the core trunk road network.

It looks at areas such as:

  • Route Functions and Performance - What does this road do now?
  • Route Objectives - What do we want this road to do in the future?
  • Route Problems - The issues we need to tackle.
  • Route Management Plan - Our ten-year vision for the road and the improvements we'd like to make.
