Factsheet: Temporary Traffic Orders for events

You can apply for a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) if restrictions are needed to:

• allow an event to be held
• enable members of the public to watch the event
• reduce the disruption to traffic likely to be caused by the event.

If your event involves closing roads, making roads one-way or suspending parking you must apply for a TTRO at least three months in advance.

 

Costs

If you need ‘no waiting’ cones there may be an additional cost.

A charitable or community event is:

• an event organised by a registered charity where all proceeds from the event go to that charity
• an event organised by a local community or group which is not a registered charity where all proceeds go to a charity or the local community.
