The TLRS is designed to control the carrying out of specified works in specified traffic-sensitive locations by applying a daily charge for each day that the street is occupied by the works. The daily charge will however be disapplied or reduced if the works take place outside traffic sensitive times

Surrey has some of the busiest roads in the country. As the Highway Authority for the county, one of our key aims is to cut congestion and minimise disruption for road users. We do this by working closely with our partners to plan and co-ordinate works. We commenced the SLRS on 1 April 2021 following Department for Transport (DfT) approval. By charging for lane closures and road closures on the busiest roads at peak times, the SLRS acts as an incentive to schedule works at less busy times of the day and keep traffic moving.

The Kent Lane Rental Scheme gives companies who need to close a road or lane to complete highway works a financial incentive to make sure it is carried out in a less disruptive way.

A daily rate is charged to companies working on specific roads and if it is during busy periods such as rush hour.

The West Sussex Lane Rental Scheme (WSLRS) gives works promoters a financial incentive to carry out and complete highway works in a less disruptive way when a road or lane closure is needed.
