Traffic Signs Authorisations

Post by Bfivethousand »

I've noticed this evening that the Traffic Signs Authorisations database ( https://www.dft.gov.uk/traffic-auths/ ) doesn't appear to have been updated for many months - the last case inputted on to the system was added back in March.

Can anyone shed any light as to what's going on?

Your guess is as good as mine but it's probably very related to the B word and the fact that Traffic Signs Policy Branch is about 3 people these days.

Could be a DfT IT issue as the authorisation are still being done, within the limited resources available.

Yes, I've had several productive conversations about some signs I need approving at some point so it's not as if stuff has stopped. If I didn't need to pay bills I'd be doing this stuff pro bono for them.
