Traffic Management Orders

A Traffic Management Order (TMO) is a legal rule made by the council to control and manage parking and traffic. 

They can be permanent, temporary, emergency orders or special event orders.

What a Traffic Management Order can cover 

• Waiting restrictions (yellow lines)
• Stopping prohibitions, such as taxi bays and red routes
• Loading prohibitions
• On-street parking places, such as pay by phone bays, shared use bays, permit holder bays - which can be for residents and/or businesses, electric vehicle bays, car club bays, doctor bays and disabled bays for Blue Badge holders.
• Loading bays
• Off-street parking places (car parks)
• Moving traffic restrictions such as one way, no entry, weight limits and more.

 

How we consult  

When we want to make a change to the traffic order we advertise the proposed change in a local newspaper. People will have 21 days to share their thoughts.   

We also put up signs and send letters to nearby homes. We’ll always ask emergency services and transport groups.  

We decide what to do after listening to everyone.
