Apply For A Temporary Traffic Restriction

You can apply for temporary traffic restrictions because :
** the works are to be carried out on or near the road
** there is a likelihood of danger to the public.
** there is serious damage to the road which needs repairing.

** We need a minimum of three months’ notice to introduce a temporary traffic restriction for planned work.
** If your planned works will be longer than five days then you must apply for a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO).
** If you expect your planned works to be completed in five days or fewer you can apply for a Temporary Traffic Regulation Notice (TTRN).
** If works overrun beyond the five days covered by the TTRN then you will need an additional TTRO which will be charged at the full rate.
** For an emergency closure due to a burst water or gas main, phone 01392 383329.

Costs :
** Closure or restrictions by Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) – £800
** Closure or restrictions by Temporary Traffic Regulation Notice (TTRN) – £300
** Extending a TTRO for up to 18 months – £200
** Deferring the start date for an order which has been processed and advertised and so has to be re-advertised – £500
** If you cancel a TTRO before it has been advertised the fee will be lowered – £300
** If you need ‘no waiting’ cones there may be an additional cost.
