The Project
A Route Management Strategy (RMS) is a method of planning our roads for the future. It looks at the whole picture by assessing the use and needs of a particular route with the intention of making better use by:spending available money more effectively, making road planning tie in better with regional transport and planning decisions.and by allowing all users of the route to have their say.
This Route Management Strategy covers some of the busiest sections of trunk road and motorway in Europe and provides vital links for the whole of the United Kingdom. Below is a list of the routes covered by this RMS along with a brief description:
- A5 between A38 Weeford and M1 J18;
- M6 between J4 and M1 J19;
- A46 Coventry Eastern Bypass;
- A45/M45 between A46 Stivichall and M1 J17.
This study involved consulting with stakeholders and other consultees to formulate a strategic plan for M1 to Birmingham for the next 10 years.Route Management Strategies were developed taking a holistic view of the problems and issues occurring over a defined part of the core trunk road network. From this, a series of outcomes were developed to provide guidance to the Highways Agency with regards to actions that will need to be taken in the short to medium term. The outcomes generally relate to local management issues rather than major schemes and are developed and assessed against the Government's five investment criteria-Safety; Economy; Environment; Accessibility; and Integration.
A Strategy Impact Statement, demonstrating how the implementation of the Route Outcomes would result in a beneficial impact on the performance of the route, was formulated. The impact of the Route Outcomes were analysed on Route Issues; Route Functions; Development Control and Policy Objectives.
The Highways Agency will use this strategy as the basis for further detailed studies on the issues raised and will produce a Route Management Plan that will include committed and potential actions that can realistically delivered within the ten year horizon.
