Permanent Traffic Regulation Orders

A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is a legal document. Under the provisions of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, local authorities can implement TROs which allows the highways authority (Cambridgeshire County Council) to: 

  • improve road safety
  • preserve or improve the character or amenity of an area
  • prevent use of a road by unsuitable vehicles
  • prevent serious damage to the highway
  • reduce and manage congestion 

Permanent Traffic Regulation Orders procedure

Implementing a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) requires a statutory procedure to be followed. This includes:

  • Consultation
  • Advertisement
  • Making the Order

Following the completion of the design, we must undertake consultation. This requires obtaining the views of the appropriate county councillor and district / parish councils (where appropriate), the police and the emergency services. Please see below to view the consultations we are currently undertaking. We may amend the proposal following consultation.

Once approved, the Traffic Regulation Order can be formally sealed and an operational date published. Should substantial changes to the TRO be required following consultation, this may necessitate a new advertisement process. This procedure can take some time to complete and the advertising and legal fees may be substantial.

Once made, it remains in force until superseded or revoked.
