Traffic regulation orders (TROs)

Planned street works which can't take place under a lesser form of traffic management need to have a temporary traffic regulation order in place. Temporary orders are made under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and once in place can be enforced.

Restrictions that can be introduced under a temporary order include:

• road closures
• one way routes
• speed limits
• Prohibition of parking
