# The Traffic Management (Guidance on Intervention Criteria) (England) Order 2007, Paragraph 34: TO WHAT EXTENT HAVE AN AUTHORITY HAD REGARD FOR THE NETWORK MANAGEMENT DUTY GUIDANCE IN PERFORMING THEIR NETWORK MANAGEMENT DUTIES? (See section 18(2) of the Act)


(1) Local circumstances will have a significant influence not only on how an authority manage their network, but also on how they go about making arrangements for the performance of that duty and which traffic management techniques they choose to adopt. It is, therefore, for each individual authority to decide how they plan to perform their duties relating to traffic management.
(2) However, some features of the Network Management Duty Guidance are common to all authorities, albeit to differing degrees. All of the following considerations need to be adequately addressed as a minimum indication that an authority have had regard for the Network Management Duty Guidance (“NMDG”)—
(a) considering the needs of all road users;
(b) coordinating and planning works and known events;
(c) gathering information and providing information needs;
(d) incident management and contingency planning;
(e) dealing with traffic growth;
(f) working with all stakeholders - internal and external;
(g) ensuring parity with others; and
(h) providing evidence to demonstrate network management.
