Permits and rules in Central Lancashire
Lancashire County Council is the highway authority for Central Lancashire: in two-tier Lancashire, roads are run by the county council, not Chorley. 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 A6 and A582 pass through or close to Central Lancashire. The M6, M61 and M65 are within a few miles. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
