Frequently Asked Questions on Highways, Roads & Active Travel Regulations
What is the Road Investment Strategy (RIS)?
The Road Investment Strategy is a multi-year government commitment to major road improvements managed by National Highways. Individual schemes are consented as NSIPs via DCOs and funded through Road Investment Plans.
How are autonomous and automated vehicles regulated under the Automated Vehicles Act 2024?
The Automated Vehicles Act 2024 establishes a statutory liability framework for self-driving vehicles in Great Britain, distinguishing between user-in-charge (UiC) vehicles and no-user-in-charge (NUiC) operations. When an authorised self-driving feature is active, criminal liability for driving conduct shifts from the human driver to the Authorised Self-Driving Entity (ASDE) or licensed operator.
What powers does Active Travel England (ATE) hold over local highway schemes?
Active Travel England, established as an executive agency of the Department for Transport under the Infrastructure Act 2015, acts as a statutory consultee on major planning applications, assesses local authority cycling and walking infrastructure against statutory design standards (LTN 1/20), and allocates dedicated active travel capital funding.
