| 摘要： | In 2018, the Department for Transport's Well-managed Highway Infrastructure code of practice for road maintenance came in - you can tell how major a change this was by the fact that people still refer it as 'the new code'. The guidance stated that: 'Authorities should adopt a risk-based approach and a risk management regime for all aspects of highway maintenance policy.' This included drainage; however many councils did not have an accurate history of cleansing data to align to a risk-based approach. Instead, they simply resorted to increased maintenance routines, such as cleaning the gullies on an A road more often than an unclassified road, or prioritising those with a high silt level. The results of a survey across eight networks and one million gullies showed that 20% to 60% of gullies are cleaned unnecessarily each year. Clearly, a new data-led risk-based approach in this area could yield benefits to many local authorities. |
