Asked by:
Lisa Smart (Liberal Democrat)

I can confirm to the honourable member that my department continuously monitors the impact of the circular ‘Strategic road network and the delivery of sustainable development’ (Circular 01/2022), published by my department, to consider whether updates are needed. This Circular sets out National Highways’ relationship with the planning system. There is guidance on the placing of speed cameras contained in the document ‘Using speed and red-light cameras for traffic enforcement: deployment, visibility and signing’ (Circular 01/2007), also published by my department.
