Permit schemes for managing roadworks and utility works have helped reduce disruption for road users, according to a report by consultants Ecorys and Open Road Associates for the DfT. The authors report a reduction in the duration of works compared to the alternative noticing regime, and fewer overruns. Recommendations include: more transparency on the use of permit income, and guidance from the DfT on scheme evaluations and the application of conditions to permits. The DfT says about two-thirds of highway authorities in England now operate a permitting system and it is urging the remaining third to follow suit.
