Local rules

Road works in Cornwall

Cornwall Council is the highway authority here. Almost every English highway authority now runs a permit scheme under the Traffic Management Act 2004, so works on the road need a permit, applied for through the government's Street Manager service. Minor works usually need 3 working days' notice, standard works 10 and major works 3 months.

Main roads across Cornwall include the A30, A38, A39, A388, A390, A391, A392, A394 and A395. Work on these usually needs signals or lane closures, often off-peak.

We also cover the neighbouring areas of Devon and Plymouth.
