Devon County Council is the Highway Authority responsible for all public roads in the non-metropolitan county area of Devon, with the exception of Trunk roads managed by National Highways.

It lies within the historic county of Devon. However, the council does not manage roads within other authorities that lie within historic Devon such as Plymouth City Council or Torbay Council.

Highways management

The council is responsible for the maintenance of 12,820 km (8,012 miles) of roads and associated footpaths in the county, this being the longest road network of any Local Highway Authority in England. The council also maintain 3,500 bridges, 1550 traffic signals over 122 sites, traffic signs, road markings and street lights. Pre salting is undertaken on most principal class roads (A Roads).

Partners

All work on the network is completed by SWH Ltd.

Devon Signs

Devon is unique in that since the 1980s, the local authority have colour coded rural local routes into blue, brown, and white. This colour coding is visible on signposts and indicates the types of vehicle that are recommended on the route[1].
