Permits and rules in King's Lynn
Norfolk County Council is the highway authority for King's Lynn: in two-tier Norfolk, roads are run by the county council, not King's Lynn and West Norfolk. 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.
In and around King's Lynn, the A10, A17, A47 and A149 carry most of the through traffic. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
King's Lynn is home to around 43,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
