Permits and rules in Great Yarmouth
Norfolk County Council is the highway authority for Great Yarmouth: in two-tier Norfolk, roads are run by the county council, not Great Yarmouth. 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 A47 and A143 pass through or close to Great Yarmouth. 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.
With around 39,000 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
