Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO)
A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is a legal order. It allows the Highway Authority (Kent County Council) to regulate the speed, movement and parking of vehicles under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
In Kent, moving Traffic Orders are enforced by the police and parking restrictions are enforced by local councils.
New orders normally take on average between nine and 12 months to come into force. To ensure new orders are created as efficiently as possible, proposals are normally grouped together into one order and processed all at the same time.
