Frequently Asked Questions

All data is published under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
Road Closures UK can show reported full closures, roadworks and lane restrictions on the A1 up to 90 days in advance. Street Manager permits are submitted by councils and utility companies before work begins, so you can often see planned work weeks or months ahead of the start date.
