Road condition data is used by local highway authorities to monitor, plan and prioritise their highway maintenance activities.

This guidance:

• highlights the main points of the standard for road condition monitoring - PAS 2161:2024
• specifies how local authorities must fulfil their reporting requirements of road condition data

We published a position paper published in 2021, which outlined the options considered before the development of PAS 2161.
