Under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, local authorities can make TROs to regulate, restrict or prohibit the use of a road by vehicles or pedestrians. TROs can apply at all times or during specific periods, and exemptions may be made for certain types of traffic.

Most TROs are made by Hertfordshire County Council as the highway authority. However, with the highway authority's consent, Stevenage Borough Council can introduce waiting restriction TROs on roads within Stevenage.

Waiting restriction TROs are used to manage on-street parking, including:

• Limited waiting restrictions
• Loading bays
• Verge parking restrictions
• Footway parking restrictions

TROs may be introduced following requests from local communities through ward councillors, the police or the highway authority to address road safety concerns, parking issues or other quality-of-life matters.

For enquiries about on-street parking, or to request a new parking restriction or changes to an existing restriction, please contact us using the details below.

Made Orders

Once a proposed traffic order has been out for consultation and has been agreed, it is listed on the national library of Traffic Regulation Orders maintained by the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.
