All other non-trunk `A' roads, all other public roads (including `B' and `C' roads), and a small number of short, motorway-standard `A' roads in major urban areas, are the responsibility of the local highway authority in which they are situated. A local highway authority is either a County Council, a Metropolitan Council, a unitary authority, or Transport for London. If your interest relates to an existing local road or a proposed new local road in your area, the local highway authority should be contacted.
