covering the areas most susceptible to major roadwork disruption.

TfL is not exempt from the rules and the new scheme will also ensure
that their works are delivered with minimal disruption.
200 miles suggests this will apply only to Red Routes. That will be better
than nothing but for this policy really to work, it needs to be enforced
on all major roads. I wouldn't object to it applying to quiet residential
streets as well.
