Official guidance and legislation

Auroute aligns with national guidance and statutory requirements. The sources below are the authoritative references for the UK abnormal load process.

How Auroute fits in

Auroute does not replace statutory processes. It adds decision memory, constraint awareness, and auditability so authorities can work faster while staying aligned with national guidance.

  • Ingests notifications and surfaces relevant constraints.
  • Remembers past approvals and rejections for repeat routes.
  • Highlights genuine risks and streetworks conflicts early.
  • Provides a clear audit trail for every decision.
