Permits and rules in Leyland
Lancashire County Council is the highway authority for Leyland: in two-tier Lancashire, roads are run by the county council, not South Ribble. 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 Leyland, the A6 and A582 carry most of the through traffic. The M6, M61 and M65 are within a few miles. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
With around 39,000 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
