National Highways

We're the government company which plans, designs, builds, operates and maintains England’s motorways and major A roads, known as the strategic road network (SRN)

We want everyone who uses and works on our roads to get home safe and well. By planning and designing roads that meet the highest levels of safety, we can reduce the number of fatal or serious injuries.

Our roads are some of the safest in the world. Our traffic officers, who patrol them 24/7, are at the frontline of keeping you safe.

They’re supported by control room operators through activities such as setting signs and signals to alert you to hazards in the road.
