<p>The Government is not directly responsible for any roads in central London, and
does not therefore hold this information. London’s roads fall into three main categories;
the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN), known as red routes, which are managed
by Transport for London (TfL); the Borough Principal Road Network (BPRN) managed by
the individual London boroughs; and a small number of motorways forming part of the
Strategic Road Network (SRN) managed by Highways England. All of the above are subject
to the London Permit Scheme (LoPS) which was brought in to minimise the disruption
caused by roadworks and streetworks across London. Each borough and TfL have their
own schemes, ensuring local control of conditions on local roads. The Transport for
London Lane Rental Scheme (TLRS) also helps manage works on the TLRN at traffic-sensitive
locations. A daily charge of £800 or £2500 per day is applied, depending upon the
sensitivity of the location. This scheme has helped to reduce traffic disruption by
changing the behaviour of utility companies and other contractors.</p>
