Celebrating excellence T
he role of ITS in the highways industry will be officially rec- ognised with a new category
at the prestigious Highways Magazine Excellence Awards which take place in London this October. The Awards, now in their 11th year,
bill themselves as a night of celebra- tion to recognise those who have put in extra effort and creativity to bing safer, better and more advanced sys- tems and products onto our roads. This year, for the first time, there’ll
be a specific award for best use of new technology in the Highways Industry. It’ll be awarded to an organisation or local authority which can demon- strate that they have or are making a significant improvement to road
safety, congestion and/or the environ- ment through the implementation of new technology. The technology should have been deployed or have been on test for at least twelve months prior to entry with clear evidence of its benefits by deployment on one or multiple schemes. A Highways Excellence Award is
recognition of achievement and a great marketing tool for winners to demon- strate to their clients how special they are, and also to recognise and reward the teams behind the products. “It boosted team morale and was
an indication that the work we do is appreciated and respected,” said Mar- garet Morton, Road Safety Officer in the London Borough of Bromley, “The
award endorses our continued com- mitment to road safety education and casualty reduction.” And Carl Skelton from the East
Riding of Yorkshire Council agrees that it was great to get the recognition: “The award has been appreciated by all involved improving morale and pride in the job,” he said. The Black Tie event takes place
at the Lancaster Hotel London, and is hosted by TV presenter Mary Nightingale. Other awards include Most Inno-
vative Highway Authority Product/ Scheme of the year, Site Safety Initia- tive Award, Product of the year and Road Safety Scheme or Product of the Year.
