Highway authorities in the United Kingdom have a statutory duty to maintain highways, and effective winter maintenance is a crucial element of that responsibility. The Institution of Civil Engineers presents this concise new guide, which reviews current operational arrangements, indicates best practices and suggests the way ahead.
To reflect the complexities of the subject matter, this guide covers the operational requirements for winter maintenance, weather forecasting, support technology, research and development, specialist plant and transport, and the role of privatisation. Designed as an aide memoire for experienced highway managers, this guide will also promote discussion and contribute to establishing best practice benchmarks.
