An email went out yesterday from DfT to local authorities and others to say that the revised TSRGD will not come into force this Parliament. The email didn't say so, but I'm guessing that this will mean a delay of at least 6 months.

The DfT message also invited recipients to participate in "a technical review and general sense check" of a draft that will be available in March. This is basically a review to spot errors and omissions, and will not revisit any of the policy issues or consultation questions. The IHE has agreed to participate in this.

The chief executive's office cascaded this information to me at work.

If it means a lot of minor errors are ironed out then it's a good thing it is delayed.]]> Thu, 23 May 2019 09:25:05 GMT https://members.theihe.org/forums/posts.aspx?group=214541&topic=1489164 https://members.theihe.org/forums/posts.aspx?group=214541&topic=1489164 March 2015

A new draft for the technical review has just appeared on the DfT website: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/traffic-signs-regulations-technical-review

It is available for all to see and respond to, so DfT might get more 'checking' than they bargained for! The closing date for this is 30 April.

It comes in at a nice round 500 pages (29 Mb), which is only about 10 more pages than the current TSRGD and pedestrian crossing regulations combined, and fewer than the current regs if you count all the amendments to TSRGD 2002.

There are many changes since the last draft TSRGD, particularly to parking plates, for which complete signs are now illustrated, with all sorts of strange T-shapes, L-shapes and other arrangements that will doubtless end up on a grey backing board for ease of manufacture. However these illustrations (on p 58) will need changing as they show loading restrictions operating for longer that the waiting ones]]> Thu, 23 May 2019 09:25:26 GMT https://members.theihe.org/forums/posts.aspx?group=214541&topic=1489165 https://members.theihe.org/forums/posts.aspx?group=214541&topic=1489165 March 2015

If you downloaded the draft TSRGD yesterday (17 March), download it again, as the diagram on page 58 has now been corrected.]]> Thu, 23 May 2019 09:25:35 GMT https://members.theihe.org/forums/posts.aspx?group=214541&topic=1489166 https://members.theihe.org/forums/posts.aspx?group=214541&topic=1489166 March 2015

If you downloaded the draft TSRGD yesterday (18 March) or before, download it again, as page numbers have been added, the graphics improved and the file size reduced to 12.5Mb.]]> Thu, 23 May 2019 09:25:46 GMT
