News: Local Authority To Get Right To Reclassify Local Roads

pocketgpsworld.com
The Local Transport Minister, Norman Baker has announced changes that will give Local Authorities the right to reclassify some local A and B roads without needing to seek approval from the Department of Transport.

The changes will allow councils to re-designate A and B roads so that through roads and local roads are correctly identified. Claims that this will speed up the resolution of issues with satnav systems sending vehicles down unsuitable routes are rather dubious though

Any changes to road designations made by a local authority will not immediately filter through to maps and, in many cases the issue is not the map data but the user, particularly with HGV drivers using consumer satnav that was never intended for use to guide heavy goods vehicles.
