Traffic Regulation Orders
What are they?
Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO's) constitute a major form of
traffic control. Highway authorities are allowed to make a TRO to
control the movement and waiting of vehicles. They are made
to:
- Improve safety for other persons and/or traffic using the
road
|
- To prevent damage to the road or any building near the
road
|
- To facilitate in the free flow of traffic
|
- To prevent the road being used by unsuitable traffic e.g.
articulated lorries
|
- To preserve or to improve the amenities of the area through
which the road runs
|
| Examples of TRO's
are: |
- Parking or loading restrictions including loading bays,
disabled bays, resident permit parking, limited waiting and bus
stop clearways
|
- Charges for car parks or Pay and Display bays
|
- Double / single yellow lines
