Government Traffic Signs Review

English Heritage is delighted that Transport Minister Rosie Winterton has called on motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, highway authorities and road organisations who are keen to have a say in how our streets will look in the future, to take part in the biggest review of British road signs for 40 years.
 
The review will ensure that traffic signs keep pace with the latest technology, help to cut congestion and emissions and keep traffic moving safely and efficiently without cluttering our streets.
 
One of the main aims of the review will be to consider new powers to reduce street clutter - and ensure out of date signs are removed. Philip Davies, who leads English Heritage’s Save Our Streets campaign, will chair a working group on Signs and the Environment as part of the review. He said: "This comprehensive review of road signage offers an ideal opportunity for the Department for Transport to adopt and support English Heritage’s best practice set out in our Streets for All manuals."
