Request a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO)

You can apply for a temporary road closure, also known as a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO), and other roadwork restrictions under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

A TTRO is required for any planned works that affect how the road is normally used. This can include:

In certain circumstances, this regulation can also be used for events. We cannot help with road closures for funerals.

There is an additional charge of £150 for each adjacent street included in the application.

You can include up to 3 adjacent locations in one TTRO.

Before submitting a TTRO application, please make sure:

Allow the following notice periods for TTRO applications:

If you change dates or details after submitting your application, the notice period may restart.

These timeframes allow for consultation, coordination with other works, and legal processing.

To apply for a TTRO, you'll need to:
