What happens next?

Your report will be processed to the relevant service immediately, or on the next available working day.

We'll use the information you have provided to locate and inspect the fault. Inspections will usually happen within 5 working days unless it is an emergency.

Depending on the severity of the fault, we'll carry out repairs as follows:

  • Category 1 - we aim to make safe at time of inspection, or within 4 hours
  • Category 2 - within 5 working days from date of inspection
  • Category 3 - within 60 working days from date of inspection
  • Category 4 - consider for planned works programme
  • No response - no action required

Please note: circumstances beyond our control, such as periods of adverse weather, may have a detrimental affect on our target response times.

The Road Asset Safety Inspection Policy (PDF, 336kb) and the Road Assets Safety Inspection Operations Manual (PDF, 1.3mb) set out the procedures for carrying out safety inspections.
