A50 under NCC

ben made this Freedom of Information request to Highways Agency

The request was successful.

From: ben

22 August 2008

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to enquire if/when the A50 will be controlled by your
national control centre? And also I believe the incident support
unit only works for 16 hours in a day. When will this be extended
to cover it 24 hours a day?

Yours faithfully,
David jones

Dear Mr Jones,

In response to your request under the Freedom of Information Act, I can
confirm that the A50 DBFO is part of the Highways Agency's national
strategic trunk road and motorway network. This network is operationally
controlled through the Highways Agency's Regional Control Centres. The A50
DBFO is controlled by both the WMRCC and EMRCC, and also through
the National Traffic Control Centre (NTCC).

The Enhanced Incident Support Unit (ISU) on the A50 operates 7 days per
week between 05:00hrs and 21:00hrs, but there is a 24 hour call out
coverage service in operation.

Kind Regards

Ranjeet Bansal

On behalf of Mr Trevor Still
