7007.1 variant
D4.15.1 Relevant particulars of major construction or improvement scheme being carried out on road ahead. This sign should be located on the near side verge generally 1½ miles in advance of a major road scheme site, provided that there is no conflict with other signs or with junctions and no undue driver distraction will result. For off-line schemes where 2 mile and 1 mile advance works signs are not used, the sign should be located near to the commencement of the off-line works. As a matter of courtesy the local planning authority should be informed of the proposal to erect them.
D4.15.2 The words "Highways Agency" and "Department for Transport" may be varied to "Welsh Assembly Government", "Transport Scotland", "Department for Regional Development" or the name of the appropriate traffic or roads authority. The Highways Agency logo should be varied accordingly.
D4.15.3 The scheme board legend should be varied to reflect the relevant scheme details based on the principle contained in the above sign, i.e. route, location, type of scheme and opening details.
D4.15.4 Boards erected on non-highway land will require the landowner’s and local authority’s permission.
