Permits and rules in Lincoln
Lincolnshire County Council is the highway authority for Lincoln: in two-tier Lincolnshire, roads are run by the county council, not Lincoln. 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 Lincoln, the A15, A46, A57 and A158 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.
With around 98,000 people living in the city, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
