Complaint outcomes: Transport and highways

This section covers complaints about:

  • highway management, such as road works and road adoption
  • harbours and waterways
  • traffic management, such as congestion charging and bus lanes
  • parking
  • rights of way
  • public transport 

Most complaints about public transport fall outside our jurisdiction, but there are some in the London area that we can look at.
