Apply for an emergency temporary traffic restriction notice
An emergency temporary traffic restriction notice (TTRN) is made by the council when we need to temporarily close or restrict a highway for emergency roadworks.
A TTRN is normally issued for five days. However, we may issue it for up to 21 days if we find any risk to public safety.
