Round-up of latest temporary road restrictions affecting motorists and residents
Local public notices from Lincolnshire County Council show a number of temporary traffic restrictions and closures still active, mainly relating to event orders and works.
Many of these apply county‑wide throughout 2026 when signs are displayed.
Boston
Temporary traffic restrictions remain in place across central Boston streets — including Bank Street, Church Street, Fish Hill, Market Place, Skirbeck Road, Strait Bargate and Wide Bargate — under a year‑long order for events and markets that runs through 31 December 2026. Signed diversion routes are in place where closures occur.
Skegness
Similar temporary traffic orders continue in Skegness for organised events throughout 2026, affecting sections of the A52, Grand Parade, Lumley Road, North Parade, Sea View Road, South Parade, Richmond Drive and adjoining links. No waiting / no loading restrictions also apply when signs are displayed.
Horncastle
Traffic restrictions associated with events and markets remain active in town centre roads including the A153 Bull Ring, North Street, Louth Road, Banks Street, Bridge Street, Church Lane, High Street, Market Place, West Street and Wharf Road. Diversions and signs assist motorists during restriction periods.
Market Rasen
Long‑running event‑related temporary traffic restrictions are also in force across Market Rasen and neighbouring Ludford — covering various roads where signs indicate closures or controls throughout 2026.
Louth and Sleaford
While specific centre‑town closures are not currently listed on the county’s main public traffic orders portal, temporary restrictions affecting connecting and rural routes remain possible and drivers should continue to check signed notices and official LCC publications for updates.
What this means for drivers:
Temporary traffic restriction orders can remain valid for up to 12 months or more where specified and apply at all times when traffic signs are displayed.
Access is usually maintained to properties and local businesses but may be subject to delays or signed alternative routes.
