We're responsible for the safe passage of traffic and maintenance of the roads of Derbyshire, except roads in Derby City, trunk roads, and motorways.

To improve the long-term condition of our road network we carry out patching, surface dressing and more extensive resurfacing.

We co-ordinate programmes of road safety training, education and publicity campaigns, to reduce road traffic casualties.

We consider requests for road humps where there is a need to reduce accidents, reduce speed and to improve safety of residential roads.

Our decision to salt routes is taken mainly on weather forecasts, current conditions and road temperatures (rather than air temperature).

Road spillages that could present a danger to drivers should be reported to us. The priority and timescale for response will be determined after inspection.

The Highway Authority provides signs in order to give information to road users. All signs on the highway must be authorised by the Highway Authority.

Over the next year, we'll be carrying out major improvements to the county's roads and pavements as part of our £37 million capital investment programme.
