Abstract
This document sets out a policy framework for ensuring our traffic system meets the future needs of all road users, while building upon the existing and established traffic sign system. It sets out recommendations for improving the information that traffic signs communicate to road users by providing more freedom for decisions about signing at the local level. The review process has been informed and managed by the large numbers of key stakeholders involved in this project, and many of these have directly contributed to the large amount of research that has been undertaken. This research shaped a series of wide-ranging recommendations set out in this document. (Author/publisher)
