  "text": "(This note is not part of these Regulations)\nPart 1 of the Infrastructure Act 2015 (c. 7) makes provision for the Secretary of State to appoint a strategic highways company to act as the highway authority in respect of the areas and highways specified in the appointment. As a consequence of its appointment a strategic highways company will exercise certain statutory powers and functions under highways-related and other legislation.\nThese Regulations, which apply only to England, enable a strategic highways company to authorise another person, or that person’s employees, to exercise certain of its functions in relation to maintenance, improvement and other dealings with highways, mainly in its capacity as a highway authority. The functions which may be delegated in this way are listed in Schedules 1, 2 and 3.\nAn impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.",
