Permits and rules in Ilford
Redbridge Council is the highway authority for Ilford: 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.
Primary routes through Ilford include the A12, A13, A123, A406 and A1020. The M11 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.
