Methodology, source and limitations
Fixtyer groups and counts the published DfT overall network-level GREEN, AMBER and RED bands. No weighting, score, ranking or inferred value is added.
England only. The DfT ratings dataset covers English highway authorities and does not rank Welsh authorities.
Ratings are network-level bands. They do not establish notice, negligence, liability, the merits of a particular claim or the condition of a specific road.
Q3 2026 is the Fixtyer publication edition, not a claim that DfT updates quarterly. A new edition can reuse the latest official dataset until DfT publishes a replacement.
Read the canonical dataset methodology, downloads and changelog, or check the Department for Transport source.

Journalists can request the methodology note or a rapid factual check through media enquiries.
