As a consequence of so much construction work being carried out on or near to highways, a contractor ignores at his peril the law of highways and the influence it has, or should have, on his working methods and practices. Some knowledge, understanding or awareness of the law relating to highways is essential to anyone involved in the construction process, including the architect, engineer or surveyor advising a client as to what is possible, and the contractor actually carrying out the contract works. This book aims to provide practical guidance from the maintenance and improvement of highways to activities related to construction work on or near highways.
