Last month’s Autumn budget brought with it many conversation-starting announcements, including the news that the Chancellor has pledged £500 million to fix potholes on the nation’s roads. While some consider this number a drop in the ocean compared to the true extent of the issue, the acknowledgment that potholes are a major issue for road users will be welcomed by many. The frustration motorists feel on the issue is rooted in the danger potholes pose, as well as the extra costs that inevitably fall to the individual when roads aren’t well maintained. The lack of maintenance on local roads creates further problems than just potholes. This year, the Road Safety Markings Association (RSMA) has called on the new UK government to take action on road markings. While potholes tend to hit the headlines, road markings are often overlooked, despite being one of the most cost-effective safety solutions. The continuous upkeep, growth and improvement of road safety markings are also vital to the development of autonomous and driver-assist safety functions.

Have you already switched to our LoFillSystem❓ We at SaferFillSystems pride ourselves on making life Safer for the operatives by removing risk-taking and applying modern technology and practices to make the world as safe as possible. Our systems also save our customers money in the process. We can take most tanks in situ and bring their filling point to a convenient, ground-level filling point. We keep the filling rate the same as if you were filling directly into the tank, so you’re not losing time, and we remove the need to have valves open, spewing gas all over your yard and operative while they fill. Not only can we give you ground-level filling in a safe, gas-free filling environment, but we can also give you the option of a level gauge for your tank that you can fit in your cab just like your diesel tank gauge. We do all of this within all UK and European legislation and we use only the best, most trusted manufacturers to source our components. When will you get Safer?

Transport for London (TfL) will remove existing colourful pedestrian crossings on its network and will not install any new ones after research found clear evidence of disbenefits caused by the crossings to road users with protected characteristics under the Equality Act. The cross-London body, which is the traffic authority for the capital, will recommend that London boroughs do the same on their roads. Ryan Cooper, head of profession - highways and traffic at TfL, told the Institute of Highway Engineers Traffic Signs Conference that decorative markings have been used on roads in London and elsewhere to provide expected benefits such as enhancing neighbourhoods and improved safety. However, TfL ‘paused’ their use in November 2021 after a number of disability organisations, wrote an open letter to London mayor Sadiq Khan highlighting the problems they caused for road users with a variety of disabilities.

Dr Alistair Hunter, UKIMEA roads and streets business leader at Arup, lays out some options for one of the trickiest issues facing highways: what happens when Fuel Duty dries up❓ Historically, Fuel Duty has been a substantial revenue stream for the Treasury, generating around £25bn annually. This tax, supported also by VAT income, contributes to road maintenance and other essential services. However, as the UK transitions to electric vehicles (EVs), the Government faces a significant drop in this revenue. With the ban on new petrol and diesel cars set for 2035, finding a fair, equitable and efficient replacement for Fuel Duty is crucial to ensure continued funding for road infrastructure without discouraging EV uptake or overburdening drivers.
