Highways UK 2024: Staying Ahead with Solent Streetworks on Day Two at the NEC
Day two at Highways UK 2024 has brought even more valuable insights and learning opportunities for Solent Streetworks. Held at the NEC – National Exhibition Centre, this gathering of industry professionals has been an exceptional chance to stay updated on the latest trends and upcoming legislative changes that affect our work in streetworks, traffic management, and overall road safety. We’re proud to be part of this forward-thinking event, where we continue to strengthen our commitment to safety, compliance, and innovation.
Keeping Current with Industry Legislation
One of the key takeaways from today has been the chance to dive deep into potential updates to legislation. Changes to regulations such as the New Roads and Street Works Act (NRSWA) 1991 and the Traffic Management Act (TMA) 2004 are essential for all professionals in the field to understand. Staying current with these updates allows us to ensure that our practices remain compliant, efficient, and aligned with industry best practices. With a focus on “Safety at Streetworks,” this year’s Highways UK has equipped us with vital information that will enhance our commitment to safe operations on every project.
