What is a Traffic Regulation Order?
A TRO is a legal order regulating traffic on public highways. This includes footpaths, bridleways, byways, restricted byways and carriageways with a predominantly unsealed surface. They can restrict:
- All or certain specified types of user. For example, all mechanically propelled vehicles except motorbikes
- Use to certain times or seasons. For example, days of the week or width/height/length limits
- The extent of road affected. For example, the whole of a road or to a specified length

How we tell people about the closures
Before we make an Order we have to tell people what we intend to do and why. These Notices of Intention are published in the local press and on this website at least 7 days before the Order is made.
Sometimes we have to make restrictions immediately using a Traffic Regulation Notice, for example if there is a danger to the public. These are advertised on the affected path and last for up to 21 days.
Types of Traffic Regulation Order and how to apply
There are several different types of Traffic Regulation Order. Find out more, including how to apply, on our Traffic Regulation Management page.
