Permits and rules in Carmarthen
Carmarthenshire Council is the highway authority for Carmarthen: Carmarthenshire is the highway authority for local roads. Trunk roads are managed by the Welsh Government, through its trunk road agents.
Street works in Wales are co-ordinated by the local highway authority under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. Some Welsh authorities need notices and others run permit schemes, so the notice period depends on the council.
Primary routes through Carmarthen include the A40 and A48. 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.
Carmarthen is home to around 15,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
