Traffic Regulation Orders

Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) are legal documents that enable us as the local highway authority to prohibit, restrict or reduce the use of a road by traffic. 

This includes motor vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. We implement TROs through a statutory procedure that involves advertising and consulting on the proposals in line with:

  • The Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984
  • The Local Authorities' Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996

TRO measures

Measures we can bring in using TROs include:

  • road closures
  • speed limits
  • on-street parking
  • single and double yellow lines
  • one-way streets
  • access and turning restrictions
  • prohibition of certain types of vehicles
  • width, height and weight restrictions
  • bus and cycle lanes
  • taxi ranks

These measures and regulations help us to:

  • improve road safety
  • facilitate the passage on the road of any class of traffic
  • preserve or improve the character or amenity of an area
  • prevent use of a road by unsuitable vehicles
  • prevent serious damage to the highway
  • prevent damage to any building or near the highway
  • reduce and manage congestion
  • preserve or improve local air quality

Experimental Traffic Regulation Orders

In some instances, it is appropriate to introduce TRO changes on an experimental basis to trial a change to the highway network before making it permanent or otherwise.

An Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) is made under Sections 9 and 10 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. It can only stay in force for a maximum of 18 months while the effects are monitored and assessed.

We welcome feedback throughout the process, however, formal objections to the Order being made permanent must be made in the first 6 months of it coming into force.

If any changes to an ETRO are made, six months are allowed for objection from the date those changes come into operation. A decision on whether the changes introduced by an ETRO will be removed or made permanent must be made within 18 months of an Order coming into force.

The decision to make a scheme permanent will follow our formal decision making process.
