Permits and rules in Telegraph Hill
Lewisham Council is the highway authority for Telegraph Hill: 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.
The A2, A20, A21, A23, A100 and A102 pass through or close to Telegraph Hill. 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.
Telegraph Hill is home to around 16,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
