Permits and rules in Kidlington
Oxfordshire County Council is the highway authority for Kidlington: in two-tier Oxfordshire, roads are run by the county council, not Cherwell. 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 Kidlington include the A34, A40 and A44. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
Around 14,000 people live in Kidlington. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
