Permits and rules in Ware

Hertfordshire County Council is the highway authority for Ware: in two-tier Hertfordshire, roads are run by the county council, not East Hertfordshire. 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 A10, A414 and A602 pass through or close to Ware. 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.

Ware is home to around 20,000 people, so works plans need to think about pedestrians, buses and deliveries as well as through traffic.
