Permits and rules in Leyton
Waltham Forest Council is the highway authority for Leyton: 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 Leyton include the A10, A11, A12, A102 and A104. 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.
With around 14,000 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
