Highway Safety Inspection Manual
In line with the principles of Well-Managed Highway Infrastructure: A Code of Practice (October 2016), this manual has been produced with respect to local circumstances, and the relative risks and consequences associated with these. The characteristics of the regime, including the frequency of inspection, items to be recorded, and the nature of response are defined by this Highway Safety Inspection Manual, which is set in the context of the West Yorkshire Highway Infrastructure Asset Management Board, Highway Management Hierarchy and Highway Safety Inspection Policy.
The manual is used by officers who undertake inspections of Bradford Council’s highway network. It does not cover inspections of Public Rights of Way (generally rural footpaths and bridleways as shown on the Definitive Map), detailed Street Lighting inspections, Tree inspections or inspections of Highway Structures.
