The services of the personnel in the Roads and Highways Department are guided and administered by certain rules and regulations issued by the Government and the Ministry of Communications. This Section of the Management Manual aims to provide a ready reference and guide to the rules and regulations applicable to the duties of the Roads and Highways Department officers and staff.

This section is not intended to be a complete reference of all relevant material and covers the key rules & regulations. However, it should provide a useful starting point for research. It is hoped that it will be helpful to all engineers, particularly junior and newly enrolled engineers of the Department.

The rules and regulations have been divided into three broad categories, General, Administrative and Financial. Each category includes a schedule of the rules and regulations, including information on the most recent edition of the documentation and key contact details, and a brief overview of each document.

The Management Services Wing will maintain and develop the information in order to ensure that all of the documents are in contemporary use. If any information in the rules is found to be inconsistent then the provisions in the rules & regulations of the Government and the Ministry will take precedence, and the Superintending Engineer of the Management Circle should be informed.
