The attached contains details of Birmingham's road hierarchy requirements. From April 2012, central government handed over greater responsibility to local highway authorities for the management of the roads classification system. While authorities had previously done the majority of the work involved in reclassifying a road, they always needed to secure the agreement of the Department for Transport. Under this new approach, authorities are allowed to exercise this power without the need for central approval.
