Permits and rules in Vauxhall
Lambeth Council is the highway authority for Vauxhall: 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.
In and around Vauxhall, the A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and A10 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.
Vauxhall is home to around 14,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
