Road closures and temporary traffic orders
Only the police or the local highway authority (the Council) have the authority to close or restrict traffic movement on a road.
A Temporary Traffic Regulation Order or Notice (TTRO or TTRN) is a legal document we can grant to give such permission.
We can issue a TTRO or TTRN for:
- roadworks
- large deliveries or cranes on the road
- tv or movie filming
- special events on the road (eg parades, festivals, races, street parties). A government guide gives more details.
A TTRO is applicable for planned works on the highway which are planned to take longer than five consecutive days or any works on a major road.
A TTRN can be issued for works of a minor nature on minor roads. The maximum duration of this notice is five days.
How to apply
For further information download our application pack which contains full details of how to apply for a TTRO or TTRN, the fees involved and the application timescales we require.
