Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders (TTROs) maybe required when it is necessary to control traffic along a length of highway
A TTRO can be applied for:
- Road closure
- Speed restriction
- Height/Width restriction
- Weight restriction
- One-way suspensions or reversals
- No waiting restrictions
For emergency works a Temporary Traffic Regulation Notice (TTRN) can be issued.
Apply for a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order or Notice
If you are working on behalf of a statutory undertaker they will need to issue a permit and then complete a TTRO Application form.
If you are a private contractor you will need to complete the TTRO application as well as the associated licence. For example; if you need to close the road to install a new water pipe, you will need a Section 50 licence as well as the TTRO.
If you are unsure of what licence you may require please contact street works using the details on this page.
