Permits and rules in West Ham
Newham Council is the highway authority for West Ham: 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.
Primary routes through West Ham include the A11, A12, A13, A102, A106 and A107. Busy primary routes often come with time-of-day restrictions, so it pays to plan the method and the hours together.
With around 16,000 people living in the town, footways, bus routes and school runs all shape how works here are planned.
