Permits and rules in Maida Vale
Westminster Council is the highway authority for Maida Vale: 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 Maida Vale include the A4, A5, A40, A41, A202 and A302. 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.
Maida Vale is home to around 23,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
