Short profile:
We aim to meet the needs of road users by engaging with them and understanding the way our network impacts on them. We fulfil our role by working closely with our partners and contractors to deliver a safe and efficient network that meets the needs of all our customers. We are responsible for operating, maintaining and improving the strategic road network in England on behalf of the Secretary of State for Transport.
Detailed description:
We have a small corporate centre in London and a further seven offices across the country. We also have traffic officers working on motorways (and some all-purpose trunk roads) based in seven Regional Control Centres and 31 outstations. Highways Agency Traffic Officers are now managing and monitoring traffic, helping coordinate responses of other emergency services and reopening routes when the police have completed their investigations.
