Local rules
Road works in Somerset
Somerset 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 Somerset include the M5, A30, A37, A38, A39, A303, A358, A361, A368 and A3088. Work on these usually needs signals or lane closures, often off-peak.
We also cover the neighbouring areas of North Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset, Devon, Bath and North East Somerset and Vale of Glamorgan.
