It describes the stages in the design and construction of a new scheme by which audits shall have been undertaken together with an outline of the factors to be considered. It sets out the monitoring requirements by which the effectiveness of the auditing process can be judged. The Standard is mandatory for all trunk road schemes including motorways in the Road Construction Programme and all schemes in each Regional Scheme Programme.
