Road Adoption Guidance Update

We require a member of staff who is suitably qualified and experienced to be able to assess and comment on the technical Sec 38 & Sec 278 designs submitted to the Council.

The assessment of Sec 38 & 278 submissions is to be carried out in consultation with ESCC Transport Development Control Team, the design consultants and safety auditors until such time as the submitted scheme can be technically accepted by ESCC.

The assessment of road designs will require consideration of but not limited to the following:

• General road construction details and widths including thickness and types of materials used.

• Horizontal and Vertical alignment.

• Street Lighting.

• Illuminated and Non- Illuminated road signs.

• Drainage, layout and schedules. Additionally, positions of gullies, manholes, catchpits, soakaways, headwalls and ditches.

• Road Markings and any necessary Traffic Regulation Orders.

• Special Construction details including special products used.

• Highway boundaries and land ownership.

• Proposed landscaping and planting arrangements.

• Fencing, both within highway e.g. pedestrian guard railing and boundary fencing e.g. bird lip/post & rail.

• Traffic signal equipment.

In addition, the member of staff will be required to assist in the updating of the ESCC road design guide and specification documents.

This will involve checking the ESCC specification documents and standard construction drawings against current national standards and updating the specification where appropriate.

The design guide will also need to be updated based on current national best practise and guidance.
