Devon County Council

Devon County Council is responsible for over 12,800 kilometres (8,000 miles) of road from major Principal routes to narrow country lanes, the longest network in England.

Despite our efforts, winter weather can still make roads treacherous. With over 90% of all crashes attributed to human error the real key to driving in winter is to drive with due care for the conditions. Never assume a road has been salted.
