Traffic management in Devon

Devon County 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 Devon include the M5, A30, A35, A38, A39, A361, A376, A377, A380 and A381. Work on these usually needs signals or lane closures, often off-peak.
