The DfT release new guidance for Highway Authorities
Highway authorities must follow this statutory guidance if they want to introduce, operate or vary a street works permit scheme. The guidance works with the conditions for street work permit schemes.
The guidance applies from 5 January 2026.
It reflects the Street and Road Work Charges and Penalties Regulations 2025, which:
increased the level of fixed penalty notices for street works offences
extended overrun charges to weekends and bank holidays where works extend beyond the agreed duration
