Permits and rules in Burford
Oxfordshire County Council is the highway authority for Burford: in two-tier Oxfordshire, roads are run by the county council, not West Oxfordshire. 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 A40 pass through or close to Burford. 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.
