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.
