Traffic management

We are responsible for the management of traffic on Derbyshire's highway network. We ensure that the network operates in accordance with current standards and is developed in line with the our transportation objectives.

The main objectives are:

To reduce the number of people killed and injured on the county's roads
to reduce congestion
to reduce inconvenience to the public caused by roadworks and temporary obstructions
to improve public access to local services
to encourage cycling and walking
to encourage the use of public transport.

These objectives are achieved by the implementation of a wide range of measures which include:

Accident reduction schemes
traffic calming
junction improvements
speed limits
pedestrian facilities - signal crossings, zebra crossings, traffic islands, new footways
waiting and parking restrictions
public transport facilities - bus lanes, bus priority schemes, bus shelters, bus stop waiting areas
cycle facilities – cycle lanes and routes, cycle parking
road markings and signs
control and monitoring of road works
traffic signal control
temporary traffic schemes to facilitate road works.
