Public Notices
************FOR INFORMATION RELATING TO PROPOSED TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDERS PLEASE CLICK THE PUBLICATIONS LINK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN. ************
  Legally before any of the following restrictions or traffic measures can be introduced the Council has to publish a notice of proposals in the local newspaper - we advertise these in the Gazette. Such notices allow a statutory period (minimum of 21 days) during which time anyone can make formal written objections to the proposals.

Public notices are required for measures such as proposed:
  • Parking restrictions (excluding bus stop clearway markings)
  • No right/left/U turns/no overtaking
  • Prohibitions of types of traffic (including pedestrians) - as well as width, weight and height restrictions
  • Road humps
  • New speed limits
  • One way streets/no entry
  • Pedestrian zones
  • Crossings (zebra, puffin, toucan)
  • Bus lanes
Public notices also need to be published in the Gazette for temporary traffic restrictions (for example if a street is being closed to allow planned road works to be carried out) and if parking charges (e.g. pay and display fees) are being altered. However, in these circumstances there is no legal entitlement to object to the proposals.

A public notice is not required for some traffic management measures such as build-outs, chicanes, gateways, pedestrian island; pinch points, rumble devices, yellow box junction markings.
