Road traffic

Roadworks, events and traffic restrictions

Roadworks or events may require authorisation and temporary signs. For a driver, crossing a diversion or restricted entrance depends on the restrictions actually indicated.

What to check in your case

Organisers should collect the permit and signage plan. Drivers should document the route and signs in place at the time and in their direction of travel.

Documents for your defence

Full notice or decision, front and back, and evidence of the date of service.

  • Permit, public notice or dated pictures of the restriction
