You will need to apply for a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) if you need to temporarily stop or limit vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic along the highway.

Where are Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders used?

Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders can be applied to roads and footways:

  • To cover a planned situation, or an urgent notice if a restriction is needed immediately for an unplanned situation
  • To allow essential works to be carried out on the highway such as installation of, or maintenance works to, services such as gas, electricity or water
  • For works next to the highway such as large developments

Common types of Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders include:

  • Road closures
  • One way/lane closures
  • Waiting restriction
  • Weight restrictions
  • Speed restrictions
  • Parking and bus lane suspensions

They can also take the form of a:

  • Banned turn
  • One way restriction
  • Speed limit
  • Prohibition of entry

If you require a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order for up to 5 days, we require 10 working days advance notice for application.

For over 5 days, we require 6 weeks advance notice for application.
