Traffic & Road Notices
Traffic management orders are utilized to inform residents about planned alterations affecting roads in their vicinity. These notices typically relay information about both temporary and permanent changes in road layout, design, closures, and diversions.
Proposals may encompass permanent adjustments, temporary modifications subject to evaluation for their impact, or one-time applications, including special event orders such as road closures for street parties or parades.
Permanent traffic management orders may encompass proposals such as:
Introduction of yellow lines or other parking restrictions
Addition or removal of parking bays
Alteration of speed limits or conversion of streets into one-way routes
Installation of speed bumps
Placement of zigzag lines outside schools
Examples of temporary or special event orders may involve:
Road closures for resurfacing work, construction activities, or cable laying
Closure of roads for street parties, parades, or other events
You have the opportunity to express your opinions on these proposals, and your comments will be forwarded to the authorities overseeing the project.
The notice will specify the deadline for responses and provide instructions on how to submit your views. It is crucial to respond within the given timeframe.
These notices are typically issued by Local Authorities, such as Wokingham Event Location Council and Bracknell Forest Council, or other relevant bodies like Highways. They operate under legislation such as The Traffic Regulation Act 1984, Traffic Movement and Speed Limits, and the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
