Local rules

Road works in Kent

Kent 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 Kent include the M2, M20, M25, M26, A2, A20, A21, A25, A26 and A28. Work on these usually needs signals or lane closures, often off-peak.

We also cover the neighbouring areas of East Sussex, Bexley, Thurrock, Surrey, West Sussex and Bromley.
