HC Deb 16 September 2003 vol 410 c690W
Mr. Pickthall

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what measures he intends to take to amend or remove Highways Authority Performance Indicators BVPI 100 and BVPI 96. [129749]

Mr. Jamieson

BVPI 96 measures the condition of the carriageway on principal roads. BVPI 100 measures the duration of temporary traffic controls on traffic sensitive roads. A road may be defined as traffic sensitive at certain times of day only. Although temporary traffic controls or road closure may be necessary to carry out road repairs, BVPI 100 encourages authorities to plan these measures to take place outside traffic sensitive times, thereby minimising disruption to traffic.
