Where did roads come from? Who planned where they go? A brief history of roads, from the Highways Agency (external site)
Hampshire County Council is the highways authority for the Borough area, looking after all but the major routes. This external link to the County Council's highways site gives you the opportunity to find out about how the network is managed and maintained, which parts are maintained at the public expense, and includes the opportunity to report highway and street lighting defects
This allows you to locate existing and impending road works and find comprehensive information regarding Hampshire’s road / footway maintenance and regulatory policies. The geographic element of the road works mapping (ELGIN system) is unlikely to be fully accessible to disabled users
Speed limits are set according to the class and use of the road. They are not targets, nor is the speed limit always the safest speed at which to drive.
