ℹ What are C-roads?
C-roads (Class III roads) are county-maintained roads that connect villages and towns. Unlike motorways and A-roads, C-roads are rarely signposted with their C-number — instead they are known by their local street names (e.g. C32 in Derbyshire is "Coldwell End Lane"). C-road closures are managed by local highway authorities and reported through Street Manager.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a C-road in the UK?
A C-road (Class III road) is a county-maintained road that connects villages, towns, and rural areas. C-roads are numbered by each county council (e.g. C32 in Derbyshire) but are almost never signposted with their C-number — instead they are known by their local street names.
How do I find out if a C-road is closed?
C-road closures are reported through the UK government's Street Manager system. You can search by street name above, or browse by county to see all current C-road closures and roadworks in your area.
Who maintains C-roads?
C-roads are maintained by county councils and unitary authorities. For example, C-roads in Derbyshire are maintained by Derbyshire County Council, while C-roads in London are managed by Transport for London and individual borough councils.
Why don't C-roads appear on road signs?
Unlike A-roads and B-roads, C-road numbers are administrative references used by highway authorities for record-keeping. They are not displayed on road signs, which is why most people know C-roads by their local street names.
How long do C-road closures typically last?
C-road closures vary widely in duration. Utility works (gas, water, electricity) typically last 1-5 days. Major resurfacing or drainage works can last 2-4 weeks. Long-term closures for bridge repairs or major infrastructure works can last several months.
