Permits and rules in Arundel
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority for Arundel: in two-tier West Sussex, roads are run by the county council, not Arun. Trunk roads are managed by National Highways.
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.
The A27 pass through or close to Arundel. On roads like these, queue lengths decide the method: we set signal timings to keep traffic moving and suggest night or off-peak work where it helps.
Arundel is home to around 3,500 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
