Traffic Regulation Orders
What are TROs?
Traffic regulation orders (TROs) are legal agreements which allow us or the police to enforce regulations including:
- Double yellow lines
- Speed limits
- On-street parking
- One-way streets
- Traffic calming
- Car parks
How are TROs created?
TROs can remain in operation indefinitely. If the council needs to modify or revoke a TRO, it must follow the same procedure as was used to create the TRO.
How to object to a TRO proposal
If any person wishes to question the validity of the Order or any of its powers on the grounds that it or they are not within the relevant powers conferred by the Act or that any requirements of the Act or of any instrument made under the Act has not been complied with, that person may, within six weeks from the date on which the Order is made, apply for that purpose to the High Court.
