Falkirk Council is the highway authority for Falkirk: Falkirk is the highway authority for local roads. Trunk roads are managed by Transport Scotland.
Road works in Scotland are noticed on the Scottish Road Works Register under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, and the Scottish Road Works Commissioner oversees how they are co-ordinated. The road authority sets the notice it needs for your type of works.
The M9 is within a few miles. 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.
Around 36,000 people live in Falkirk. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
