Traffic Regulation Orders

Making roads safer

A traffic regulation order is a legal document that enables traffic authorities to introduce measures to control users of the highway. An order can help reduce accidents and speeds, and can support vulnerable road and public transport users. Orders can also be used to assist with the provision of environmental improvements and to facilitate the construction of major development and transportation schemes.

We have an experienced team of traffic engineers who ensure that legal processes are carried out including consultation and advertising. This ensures that projects address all users’ needs and ultimately that regulation orders are enforceable.

Examples of permanent traffic orders which we have worked on include:

• speed limits
• waiting restrictions
• one-way streets
• prohibition of vehicles
• prohibition of pedestrians
• weight limits
• residents preference parking schemes
• road closures
• pedestrian crossings
• temporary traffic regulation orders may also be introduced to enable works to be safely carried out within the highway
