The Street Gazetteer, unlocking benefits to highways authorities

HAUC(UK) brings highway authorities, utilities and government together with the aim of working safely and smartly to reduce the impact of street and road works throughout the UK. Established in 1986, the committee set the baseline for new street works legislation. HAUC(UK) played a significant role in the drawing up of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRSWA), the Traffic Management Act 2004 (TMA)  and their subsidiary legislation and associated Codes of Practice.

The incredible work that custodians do maintaining the NSG,  enables better planning and decision making,  which in turn reduces the impact of these essential works on the highway. HAUC(UK) works to share this information and improve industry communications.

National Highways will introduce the development and ongoing maintenance of the digital highway boundary for the strategic road network, explain how we get from USRN to a fully published dataset.

The session will show how we transform an historically complex mix of boundary records into a single, authoritative source that brings simplicity to asset management, maintenance planning, and customer support. You will hear how the dataset is created, including the key data sources, transformations and audit process. 

National Highways connects people with places.
