Leicestershire Highway Design Guide

The Leicestershire Highways Design Guide deals with highways and transportation infrastructure for new developments in areas for which Leicestershire County Council is the highway authority. This version is a 2022 interim guide, which contains minor amendments and updates to references to standards and guidance. A full refresh project is now underway, which will be subject to consultation.
