Permits and rules in Peterborough
Peterborough Council is the highway authority for Peterborough: Peterborough is the highway authority for local roads. 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 Peterborough, the A15, A16, A47, A1139 and A1260 carry most of the through traffic. 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 194,000 people living in the city, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
