Section 58 Restrictions

Key Differences from EToN

Street Manager supports full geometry for Restrictions, Confirm now supports full geometry and user can see the geometry using the map button. Start and End coordinates can also be seen in the user interface.

There are currently three mechanisms for registering S58 restrictions in Street Manager:

  1. As an Authority user, using "Section 58 - restricted works". (Preferred approach)
  2. As an Authority user, using "Add activity to map". (Support existing)
  3. As a Promoter using, "Apply for works" with an Activity type of "Section 58"

The advice from the Street Manager team is that using Section 58 is the preferred approach now onward. Activities on the map is still supported so that the existing Activities will not become redundant till they are active.

Section 58 now supports different states like Proposed, In Force, Complete and Cancelled. Map activities were not allowing the recording of the fact that a restriction is In Force or support S58A restrictions. Section 58 reference or Activity reference is automatically generated by Street Manager.

Export logic of Section 58

It looks for a valid Section 58 reference number in the designation ('S58-' in works ref or street work batch Filename), if we find it that means a section 58 is already exported to Street Manager and the designation is for update. If instead we find a valid activity reference number ('ARN-') then it means Activity is already imported from Street Manager and the designation is for update . If we do not get either of 'S58-' and 'ARN-' then it read details from designation and create a new Section 58 in Street Manager.

Note: Only the designation status and proposed start date can be updated for section 58. Section 58 is imported once a day. For increasing or decreasing its frequency a request should be raised to us.

Site Designations Field Mapping to Map Activities

If existing Designations were to be mapped to map activities then the following field conversions would be proposed:

Street Manager Field Confirm Field Notes (When importing into Confirm from Street Manager) Notes (When exporting from Confirm to Street Manager)
Activity reference / Section 58

Site > Designation > Comments (export)

Site > Designation > Works Ref (import)

The "ARN"/"S58" number generated by Street Manager will be stored in the Works Reference.

The Activity reference /Section 58 reference generated by Street Manager will be appended to the Comments on Export. On import, 'Works Ref.' will store these references.
  Site > Designation > Organisation (import) The Organisation will be determined from the SWA Org code for the Activity/Section 58, which can be seen in the first 4 digits of the Activity reference.  
Activity name

Site > Designation > Designation

Site > Designation > Works Ref

If the name contains the phrase "in force" then the appropriate In Force designation type will be used, otherwise the Proposed designation type will be used. If the phrase "58A" then the appropriate Section 58A designation type will be used, otherwise a Section 58 designation type will be used.

If the Works Ref of an existing EToN designation on the Street is found within the Activity name text or Activity Reference text then the existing designation will be replaced with the new information from Street Manager. Otherwise a new designation will be created (in that case Activity Reference will be used as Works Ref for the designation). The Works Ref of the existing EToN designation will be appended to the comments.

Activity name will be appended to the Description

The Designation name will be used, e.g. "S58 Restriction In Force" followed by the works reference in brackets.
Contact organisation/name

Site > Designation > Organisation (export)

Site > Designation > Comments (import)

Will be appended to the Comments The Organisation name will be supplied
Contact details

Organisation > Contact (export)

Site > Designation > Comments (import)

Will be appended to the Comments. The contact phone number and email address will be exported
Proposed Start date Site > Designation > Effect From    
Restriction Duration Site > Designation > Effect To Site > Designation > Effect To will be populated after added Restriction Duration to the Site > Designation > Effect From If difference between To & From is between 1 - 180 days than it is 'Six Months'. If the difference is between 180 - 365 than it is '1 Year'. If the difference is between 1 year - 2 year than it is '2 Years' and if the difference is between 2 Years - 3 Years then it will be 3 years.
Extent of restriction Site > Designation > Applicable To    
Section 58 location

Location (Export) Site > Designation > Comments (import)

If not Carriageway will be appended to the Comments

Extracted from the location text if supplied in brackets, e.g. a location text of "o/s 45 (Footway and verge)" would set the Footway and Verge checkboxes in Street Manager.

If no suitable text is found in brackets then defaults to Carriageway.

Additional information Description If set to yes then "Made safe by HA" will be appended to the Description Set to "Not Required"
Section 58 in Map / Event or activity footprint Start / End Easting & Northing

For Points the start and end will be the point location.

For Lines the first and last point of the line will be imported.

For Polygons the two points on the Polygon that are furthest away from each other will be used.

For Confirm DB v20.2 and above, the full geometry will be imported in the Confirm system.

If Applicable to Whole then will send as a polygon that is a 4m buffer around the Street geometry held in Street Manager. If this results in multiple polygons the polygon with the largest area will be used.

If the Applicability is Partial then will export a straight line between the Start and End point.

For Confirm DB v20.2 and above, if the Applicability is Partial then will export the full geometry as available in Confirm.

Cancelled reason Will be appended to the Comments   Set from comments
