Step 1 - How to submit your Traffic Management

You must make your application electronically using via the map below.

Application guidance

Use the map below to start your application. The map will default to a 2-mile radius from Birmingham city centre, and you can:

  • search by entering a postcode or road name in the search button (include the property number if known)
  • use the "find my location" circle underneath the zoom tabs to use your current location when making a report
  • use the "plot new enquiry" tab and zoom in to choose the location manually

When you have marked the location on the map, use the "submit new enquiry" tab to begin completing the form.

You can add additional location information within the form once the mapping point has been submitted.

NB The map may not be displayed if you are using an older version internet browser (such as Internet Explorer 10 or earlier).

Step 2 - How to apply for a Roadworks Permit

You must make your application electronically using 'Street Manager' via the link below. Alternatively, you may use your own permitting system as long as it has a direct API link to Street Manager.

Apply for a roadworks permit on GOV.UK

Be aware that Birmingham Traffic Management (BTM) applications and permits are accessed as one submission. If a permit is received prior to a BTM application your permit will be immediately refused. You must provide your BTM reference number in the works description of your permit.
