Traffic Regulation Orders

What is a Traffic Regulation Order?

A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is a legal document which we can introduce for the purpose of managing or restricting traffic on public roads.

TROs are required for:

• Parking places

• Waiting, loading and unloading bays

• Double yellow lines

• One way streets

• Turning bans

• Speed limits

• Prohibition of vehicles

• Vehicle weight restrictions

• Bus and cycle lanes

• Taxi ranks

We receive many requests to legally enforce parking on double yellow lines. Unfortunately, the legal procedure would be too costly and time consuming to get a TRO for every case. For this reason, the Council has adopted a policy where TROs are implemented when there is clear evidence of a road safety concern or restricted traffic flow along a road.

We have a statutory duty to formally advertise our intention to make a new Traffic Regulation Order (TRO). The TROs listed below are currently out for consultation. Please view the documents and submit any feedback on the form provided, quoting the reference number.
