Closures & Traffic Management

Where works require the temporary closure of a highway (from roads to footways or city walkways), diversions, signage and public notifications must be arranged and a temporary traffic regulatory order granted.

For the temporary traffic regulatory order application you will need to identify what items or activities will be on or adjacent to the affected highways e.g.:

        • Signs (e.g. Diversion Signs or Temporary No Entry Signs)
        • Lines
        • Barriers
        • Hoardings
        • Skips
        • Scaffolding
        • Cranes or lifting equipment
        • Signal controls e.g. temporary traffic lights
        • Lighting (e.g. temporary floodlighting or hazard warning lamps)
        • Marshals or Banksmen

The council will also want as much information as possible on how the traffic will be managed. Examples of what this might include are:

        • Type of traffic control
        • Risk assessments
        • Traffic modelling
        • Scale Maps
        • Diversion routes for vehicles and/ or pedestrians (To be agreed in advance with the
        • Street Care Coordinator, see contact details below)
        • Draft consultation material (e.g. draft letters to affected local residents and businesses)

Once the Order has been approved and made enforceable it is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure all the correct infrastructure management systems are in place.
