Permits and rules in Carlton
Nottinghamshire County Council is the highway authority for Carlton: in two-tier Nottinghamshire, roads are run by the county council, not Gedling. 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 Carlton, the A52, A60, A6011 and A6514 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.
With around 6,881 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
