Traffic Regulation/Management Orders (TRO’s/TMOs) are legal documents which allow local highway authorities and/or the police to enforce traffic regulations. These can be permanent, which remain in force until superseded or revoked, experimental, which may last for up to 18 months, with extensions available in certain circumstances, temporary, which may last for: up to six months for footpaths, bridleways, cycle tracks and byways open to all traffic; and up to 18 months on other roads, with extensions available in certain circumstances or temporary legal notices, which may last for up to 21 days.
