Highway Authority Standards
Cambridgeshire County Council set policy on maintenance standards in the annual edition of ‘Network Management Plan’ and the policy for potholing is as follows: -
- Dangerous conditions in carriageways should be dealt with immediately to achieve safe conditions with the minimum of maintenance.
- Potholes are considered dangerous when they are vertically sided, and more than 20mm deep, with a greater than 0.1 sq. m in principal road carriageways and 50mm deep in non-principal road carriageways, cycleway and marked cycle lane and are sufficiently far from the edge of the carriage or footway to be surrounded by bituminous material
- Other conditions which occur should be judged in accordance with the good practice and specification requirements, and dealt with accordingly.
- Dangerous potholes complying with the dimensions specified are to be repaired within 24 hours.
