The Department for Transport (DfT) is seeking feedback on proposed updates to the Safety at Street Works and Road Works code of practice, widely known as the “Red Book”.
The revisions reflect changes in legislation, guidance and working practices since the document was last updated in 2013 and will help shape future requirements for the signing, lighting and guarding of street and road works.
The deadline for feedback is 23:59 (GMT) on Monday 14 December 2026.
Review the proposals and submit your feedback via the DfT consultation.
