Permits and rules in Derry
DfI Roads is the highway authority for Derry: the Department for Infrastructure is the road authority across Northern Ireland. Trunk roads are managed by DfI Roads.
Street works in Northern Ireland come under the Street Works (Northern Ireland) Order 1995, with DfI Roads as the road authority. Notice periods depend on the category of works.
In and around Derry, the A2, A5, A6, A514 and A515 carry most of the through traffic. 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.
With around 85,000 people living in the city, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
