The assessment of road designs will require consideration of but not limited to the following: * General road construction details and widths including thickness and types of materials used. * Horizontal and Vertical alignment. * Street Lighting. * Illuminated and Non- Illuminated road signs. * Drainage, layout and schedules. Additionally, positions of gullies, manholes, catchpits, soakaways, headwalls and ditches. * Road Markings and any necessary Traffic Regulation Orders. * Special Construction details including special products used. * Highway boundaries and land ownership. * Proposed landscaping and planting arrangements. * Fencing, both within highway e.g. pedestrian guard railing and boundary fencing e.g. bird lip/post & rail. * Traffic signal equipment. In addition, the member of staff will be required to assist in the updating of the ESCC road design guide and specification documents.
