Permits and rules in South Benfleet
Essex County Council is the highway authority for South Benfleet: in two-tier Essex, roads are run by the county council, not Castle Point. 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.
The A13, A127, A130 and A1245 pass through or close to South Benfleet. On roads like these, queue lengths decide the method: we set signal timings to keep traffic moving and suggest night or off-peak work where it helps.
