Topic: Best Practice

We are looking to identify current best practice for a regional local authority for the following issues, does anyone have any commentary or advice regarding best practice when designing the following:

- Sawcutting for detector loops – the concern is the angle detector loops are bent in the figure 8 configuration and how any changes to sawcutting patterns will affect wearing course integrity. Does anyone have any advice/experience on issues with surfacing integrity when sawcutting or detector loop failure because of installation/bending issues?

- Chamber sizes and lid types - They have had difficulty installing standard size chambers due to conflicts with services and have had H&S issues with contractors manually lifting heavy chamber lids. Does anyone have any advice/experience on alternative chamber designs and lighter lids which are still trafficable?

- Milling of surfacing cutting off detector loop tails. Has anyone looked at adding an extra junction box within the carriageway to protect detector loop tails?

- On-road cycle detection – has anyone specified/trialled or designed on-road cycle detection with camera detection and a back up push button only?

- What controller types have been specified around the country and how do they perform? Does anyone have any advice/information on the controller types used in their jurisdiction and their benefits/performance?

Topic: SNUG Name

Over the last few years the question has been asked whether the name SNUG is still appropriate for us.

Although our guiding principles are still relevant, some consider that our name is a bit dated, and that we should consider rebranding.

So what do you think?
