As Highways Voices reaches its summer break, we finish this series of podcasts with a look ahead to two of the key events for our industry in the autumn.

Organiser of the JCT Traffic Signals Symposium John Nightingale joins us first to discuss the popular event, and how it’s grown with ever more exhibitors and attendees, and how the programme of learned papers was completed earlier than ever, while the social events are a vital part, too.

He’ll also hint at a fascinating-sounding session about security which will only be available to those in the room at Nottingham Trent University during the event on the 11 and 12 September.

After John, Claudia Davidson – Head of Content and Strategic Partnerships at Highways UK owner Terrapin – talks about the growing popularity of this event at the NEC on 16 and 17 October.

She discusses the ministerial visits and tours, and how many leading elected officials from across the country are attending. She also looks at some of the key subjects being discussed, new theatres and how to navigate the event and get the most out of it.

On top of that, you’ll hear news from the Highways News website, and from our podcast partners LCRIG, the TTF, ADEPT and ITS UK, as well as why Transport for Greater Manchester wins “Adrian’s Accolade”.
