Roadworks and Closures
There are many reasons why a road would be closed or traffic would be restricted. This could include works for highway maintenance purposes, a development, improving the local infrastructure (gas, water, electric etc or even to allow an event to take place.
When deciding what method of traffic management to use, the council consider the safety of the public and work force, the disruption to the traffic network and other road users and the duration in which the works are intended to take.
