About

Highways England awarded a contract to Arup for research and updates to the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Requirements and Advice Document (RAD) CD 146 on the positioning of signalling and advance direction signs.

The work involved targeted research on the positioning of advance direction signs and signalling on all-purpose trunk roads, the positioning of variable message signs in relation to emergency areas, and the structure and scope of CD 146 for motorways and all-purpose trunk roads, considering Devolved Administrations.

Arup also updated CD 146 to align with Highways England's strategic approach, incorporate industry feedback and changes from previous research agreed at the March 2021 Road Layout Technical Project Board, and integrate research findings through the governance process.

The contract value was £110,689.19.
