You need to apply to switch permanent traffic signals (traffic lights) on or off. This includes needing to use temporary or portable traffic lights.
We need an application if you require existing permanent light switch off/on. All other traffic management will be considered via a highways licence or permit.
Before you apply:
You will need a traffic management plan drawn up by an accredited traffic management company. You may also require a licence/permit to book your road space, this is a separate application.
We will require a minimum of 7 working days’ notice to review your application.
We offer a fast track service for applicants who need to have the permanent lights switch off/on sooner than the required notice period of 7 working days. This is on the basis that the licence/permit is approved. We require documents and 2 working days’ notice for Fast Track applications.
To request an application please contact streetworks@stoke.gov.uk.
