Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders
A Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) is a request to temporarily divert a public right of way, usually in the interest of public safety.
- TTROs stay in force for a maximum of 6 months
- if works are completed before this period, the right of way should be reopened
- if works are not completed within 6 months an extension to the TTRO can be applied for. However, approval will need to be gained from the Secretary of State
