Permits and rules in Davyhulme
Trafford Council is the highway authority for Davyhulme: Trafford is the highway authority for local roads. 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 Davyhulme, the A56, A57 and A5081 carry most of the through traffic. The M60, M62 and M602 are within a few miles. 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.
Davyhulme is home to around 20,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
