Permits and rules in Bexleyheath
Bexley Council is the highway authority for Bexleyheath: the borough runs local roads, while Transport for London runs the red routes. Red routes, the main roads on the Transport for London Road Network, need TfL's agreement instead. 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.
In and around Bexleyheath, the A2 carry most of the through traffic. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
Bexleyheath is home to around 16,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
