We fund the maintenance of most of Haringey’s highways. Some roads are maintained by Transport for London.
Principal roads
Principal roads are main roads that have the highest amount of traffic from pedestrians or vehicles.
We fund the maintenance of principal roads. TfL sometimes funds the resurfacing of principal roads.
Haringey’s principal road network includes:
- Green Lanes
- Tottenham High Road (Bruce Grove to borough boundary with Enfield Council)
- West Green Road
- Bounds Green Road
- Ferry Lane
- Fortis Green
- Lordship Lane
- Fortis Green Road
- The Roundway (west)
- Priory Road
- Hornsey High Street
- Tottenham Lane
- Watermead Way
- Westbury Avenue
- Turnpike Lane
- The Broadway (Muswell Hill)
- The Broadway (Crouch End)
- Crouch End Hill
- Crouch Hill
- Queens Avenue
- High Road (Wood Green)
- Park Road
- Church Lane
- Muswell Hill
TfL used to contribute to funding for the maintenance of principal roads. This funding came through a yearly bidding process as part of our Local Implementation Plan.
However, in recent years we’ve not received any funding from TfL for planned maintenance work on principal roads.
Public roads
Public roads make up most of Haringey’s roads. We fund the maintenance of these roads from our capital and revenue budgets.
Transport for London Network
Some roads in Haringey are part of the Transport for London Network – these are known as ‘red routes’. They're managed and maintained by TfL.
The red routes in Haringey are:
- Archway Road
- Seven Sisters Road
- Great Cambridge Road
- The Roundway (East)
- Bruce Grove
- Tottenham High Road (Bruce Grove to Stamford Hill)
- Broad Lane
- Monument Way
Other roads
There are also private roads in Haringey that are maintained by their owners.
The maintenance of housing or parks roads is funded by the relevant Haringey services.
Department for Transport Funding
For 2025/26, we will receive up to £571,000 in funding from the Department of Transport (DfT) for highways maintenance activities. This funding will allow us to carry out resurfacing in the following roads:
- Muswell Hill Broadway
- Spur Road
- Osborne Road
- Shepherds Hill
- Weir Hall Road
- Tynemouth Road
- Muswell Hill Road
- Spring Lane
The total length of the roads where the resurfacing is proposed is just over 1km. These roads were assessed from a recent annual detailed visual inspection to be in poor condition and require resurfacing for several defects such as potholes, depressions, rutting, ravelling, and cracking.
The DfT funding has allowed us to have a larger budget to use for planned and reactive maintenance highways works that include localised treatments by repairs to both carriageways and footways potholes and depressions.
