Footway Crossings and Vehicle Driveways

It is an offence to drive over the pavement into a driveway without a legally constructed footway crossing. 

We will construct a crossover for a vehicle outside a property at your request.

Please be aware that you will be charged for this service. Please see current charges for further details.

In some locations planning permission may be required if, for example, you live on a major road or in a conservation area. This means we reserve the right to refuse applications.

To apply for a footway crossing, please contact Highway Services on 020 8379 2211 or 020 8379 2168. We will ask you some questions and then send you out an application form.

Before making your application please refer to our detailed guidance notes, which will give you a lot of information about footway crossings.
