Permits and rules in Gipsy Hill
Lambeth Council is the highway authority for Gipsy Hill: the borough runs local roads, while Transport for London runs the red routes. Red routes, the main roads on the Transport for London Road Network, need TfL's agreement instead. 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, A205 and A214 pass through or close to Gipsy Hill. 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 14,000 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
