Wales
The 22 principal councils manage local roads, while the Welsh Government is responsible for motorways and trunk roads. Start with the precise road and postcode, then confirm whether it is part of the trunk network.
Scotland
Local councils manage local roads. Transport Scotland’s trunk roads are maintained through operating companies, and the relevant operator handles the defect or compensation route. A road being an A-road does not by itself prove which route applies.
Northern Ireland
DfI Roads is the single road authority for the public road network. Nidirect provides the central online vehicle-damage compensation process and lists supporting documents, including vehicle, damage and repair evidence.
Confirm before submitting
Postcode geography identifies the likely administrative area, but trunk-road and private-road exceptions still need confirmation. The claim builder shows its confidence and allows a correction before preparing the documents.
