Local rules
Road works in Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle upon Tyne 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 Newcastle upon Tyne include the A1, A19, A167, A167(M), A184, A692, A696 and A1058. Work on these usually needs signals or lane closures, often off-peak.
We also cover the neighbouring areas of North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Gateshead.
