          Our Roading Operation Standards

           

          The Ashburton District Council sets the standards that our roads are maintained to and administers the contracts let to achieve these standards.

           

          These cover a wide range of work that includes:

          ·         Maintain roads to a good standard and restore them to nationally accepted standards

          ·         Provision and maintenance of road signage such as intersection signs, traffic signals and motorist warnings for road identification and driver assistance

          ·         Lighting on urban streets and on a number of rural intersections

          ·         Road marking to assist drivers with traffic flow directions

          ·         Accident investigations and identifying and completing improvements

          ·         Emergency activity on roads such as closure during fire hazard problems, reopening roads after snow events and gritting roads during periods of frost

          ·         Repair and replacement of road signs

           

          Council has issued a number of contracts to complete maintenance work of our roads to required standards.  The level of usage on all district roads is increasing and some areas are showing a marked increase in traffic and heavy vehicles that is putting considerable pressure on the network to remain at a satisfactory standard.

          All roads and bridges in the district are regularly inspected to monitor their condition and the effectiveness of the maintenance work.  Bridges are structurally inspected by a qualified consultant on a three year cycle.
