Permits and rules in Stevenage
Hertfordshire County Council is the highway authority for Stevenage: in two-tier Hertfordshire, roads are run by the county council, not Stevenage. 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 A602 pass through or close to Stevenage. The A1(M) is 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 90,000 people live in Stevenage. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
