Permits and rules in Staines-upon-Thames

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 A30, A308 and A3113 pass through or close to Staines-upon-Thames. The M3 and M25 are 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.
Around 18,000 people live in Staines-upon-Thames. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
