## Notice

National Highways is creating a gantry family that sits sympathetically within their surroundings, to enhance the user experience of the major road network and contribute to carbon net zero goals. The new design will: - provide an elegant, streamlined and rationalised visual appearance that will help declutter the network, - be sympathetic to the local environment with consideration of how the structures interact with their settings, from urban to countryside, - apply cost efficiency of design, construction and assembly across the family of structures - increase sustainability of the products manufacture, installation and operation (maintenance) through carbon reduction, efficiency savings and material choices.
