Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs)
Experimental traffic regulation orders
An experimental traffic regulation order allows us to trial a change to the highway network before deciding whether to make it permanent.
How an experimental order works
An experimental traffic regulation order can stay in force for six, 12 or 18 months.
While the order is in force, we will monitor and assess the changes. We may make further changes if needed.
Have your say
You can support or object to an experimental order at any time during its consultation period.
Comments can come from:
- residents
- local businesses
- other interested people and organisations
What happens after the consultation
When the consultation closes, we will review all comments.
Where appropriate, we will report the comments to the relevant ward councillors and cabinet member. They will consider what should happen next, including whether to make the order permanent.
Council officers will consider any formal objections. The final decision will be made by either:
- the cabinet member responsible for parking
- the Head of Strategic Transport and Infrastructure, using delegated authority
Following an experimental order
An experimental order is legally enforceable while it is in force. We may take enforcement action against anyone who does not follow it.
