What TROs are
A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is the legal document required to support a range of measures, which govern or restrict the use of public roads, including:
- Double yellow lines
- One-way streets
- Banned turns
- Bus lanes
Why we need TROs
UK law requires that TROs be in place to enable the police or, in the case of yellow lines and bus lanes, the council, to enforce these restrictions.
To create a TRO
- Consultation with the emergency services and other public bodies takes place. Local interest groups such as residents and traders may be consulted where appropriate.
- Advertisement of the TRO then takes place by placing a notice in the local press and displaying notices in the roads affected. Objections are then considered through the appropriate council procedure before it is decided how the matter will be taken forward.
- The TRO will then be formally made and introduced. The entire process can take many months to complete especially if objections result in the TRO being changed and re-advertised.
TROs can remain in operation indefinitely. If the council needs to modify or revoke a TRO, it must follow the same procedure as was used to create the TRO.

Variation of Charges for Residents Parking Schemes, ref: CAE/NMT/P/1304
Notice of Variation Powers to vary parking charges.
The notice of variation process allows Local Authorities to vary parking charges without undertaking public consultation.
Legal powers within sections 35C (on-street) and 46A (off-street) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended, allow Local Authorities to increase or decrease parking charges after publishing notice of the changes 21 days before the new parking charge(s) come into effect.
This notice procedure is not a public consultation. Objections, comments and representations are not invited. The decision to increase parking charges was made at the Transport and Connectivity Policy Committee meeting on 12 September 2024.
Notices of variation publicising an increase to parking charges within Bristol, to come into effect on 17 February, are shown below for notification purposes only.
For information only.
