S278 works refer to Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980, which allows local authorities to enter into agreements with developers or other parties regarding highway works. These works typically involve alterations or improvements to existing highways, such as roads, footpaths, cycleways, or traffic signals, to accommodate new developments or infrastructure projects.
S278 works are vital in facilitating the smooth flow of traffic and enhancing safety for pedestrians and motorists alike. These works often encompass a wide range of activities, including road widening, junction improvements, and installation of pedestrian crossings. S278 agreements enable developers to contribute to the enhancement of the local infrastructure while fulfilling their obligations to the community. By undertaking S278 works, developers can ensure that their projects are compliant with regulations and contribute positively to the surrounding environment and community.
