The new Traffic Management Act (England & Wales) and Traffic Scotland Act will come into effect on 1st April 2008. The aim is to help manage traffic congestion more effectively by placing a Network Management duty on the Roads Authorities. The updated Acts also mean the notice period required is now dependant on:
