Permits and rules in Worthing
West Sussex County Council is the highway authority for Worthing: in two-tier West Sussex, roads are run by the county council, not Worthing. 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 A24 and A27 pass through or close to Worthing. 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 109,000 people live in Worthing. On busier streets, keeping footways open and queues short matters as much as the works themselves.
