Active traffic orders

Traffic management orders are statutory legal documents we use to set out parking and other restrictions on-street.

Most traffic orders are created with input from local communities and the emergency services, to address specific traffic and parking issues.

How traffic orders are created

There is a statutory procedure for creating a traffic order.

Temporary traffic orders

Temporary orders may be used when works affecting the highway need short-term traffic restrictions.

We can authorise a temporary order to allow road works to take place, or to ensure safety at a sporting or social event. The police can close roads for public safety reasons.

Experimental traffic orders

Experimental orders can be used in situations that need monitoring and reviewing.

They usually last no more than eighteen months before they are abandoned, amended or made permanent and there is no obligation to consult.

The public can make objections in a 6 month statutory period within the time the experimental traffic order is active.
