How Can I Tell Whether A Road Is Lincolnshire’s Responsibility Or National Highways’ Responsibility?

AI Summary

Lincolnshire is responsible for most public roads in the county, but National Highways is responsible for the A1 in Lincolnshire and the A46 between Saxilby Road roundabout and the Nottinghamshire boundary. Private roads or roads on private land are usually the landowner’s responsibility.

Road type / location Responsibility
Most public roads in Lincolnshire Lincolnshire County Council
A1 in Lincolnshire National Highways
A46 between Saxilby Road roundabout and Nottinghamshire boundary National Highways
Private roads or roads on private land Usually the landowner

So the quick check is: if it’s the A1 or that stretch of the A46, it’s National Highways; otherwise, if it’s a public road in Lincolnshire, it’s usually Lincolnshire County Council.
