Permits and rules in Filton
South Gloucestershire Council is the highway authority for Filton: South Gloucestershire 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.
Primary routes through Filton include the A4174. The M4, M5, M32 and M48 are 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.
Filton is home to around 11,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
