Traffic management in Lancashire

Lancashire 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 Lancashire include the M6, M55, M58, M61, M65, M66, A6, A56, A58 and A59. Work on these usually needs signals or lane closures, often off-peak.

We also cover the neighbouring areas of Blackburn with Darwen, Bolton, Wigan, Calderdale, Rochdale and Bury.
