Details

The legislation for making traffic orders includes certain requirements that are difficult for local authorities to implement due to current restrictions. Specifically, these are:

• the publishing of order adverts in local newspapers - newspapers may have moved to online publication only or closed
• the posting of site notices on streets and concerns about the risks to staff
• making traffic orders available for public inspection at an authority’s offices which may be closed

The advice suggests ways in which authorities can continue to make traffic orders, whilst complying with the intention of the legislation.
