Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO)

What are TROs?

A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is a legal document enabling the Council and the Police to regulate and restrict the use of public roads. This includes:

• Parking restrictions (single and double yellow lines)
• No right or left turns
• Weight restrictions
• Speed limits
• Resident parking schemes
• Loading bays.

Why do we use TROs?

TROs benefit both residents and businesses by:

• Improving road safety
• Helping the flow of traffic
• Preventing serious damage to roads
• Preserving the character/amenity of an area.
