Permits and rules in Buntingford
Hertfordshire County Council is the highway authority for Buntingford: in two-tier Hertfordshire, roads are run by the county council, not East Hertfordshire. 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 Buntingford, the A10 carry most of the through traffic. Work on or next to these roads usually needs signals or a lane closure rather than simple cones, and often off-peak or night working.
With around 7,989 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
