Proposed traffic regulation orders
Traffic regulation orders are made to control the flow of
traffic and make sure that people park safely and conveniently.
They can only be introduced following the appropriate legal
process.
Please refer to the notes at the foot of this page for guidance

The order making process
A decision is usually required by the Planning and
Transportation Regulatory Panel that the order is needed. At this
time, the order is advertised and people are given 21 days to
object to its installation.
At the end of this period, a report is taken back to the panel
which details the objections and they make a decision
about whether or not to introduce it.
If they decide that the order should be introduced, the required
works (lining, signing) are carried out and then the order is
"sealed", 7 days later, it can be enforced.
Double yellow lines no longer require a 24 hour "no waiting"
plate, they can be enforced on their own. Sometimes, however,
temporary orders or experimental orders are introduced, which
require a slightly different process, but still gives people an
opportunity to put forward their views.
