Permits and rules in Crawley
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority for Crawley: in two-tier West Sussex, roads are run by the county council, not Crawley. 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 A23 and A264 pass through or close to Crawley. The M23 is 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.
Crawley is home to around 107,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
