District 5 Traffic Regulation Order review - Niton & Whitwell |
Traffic Regulation Order review - process explained
We, the Isle of Wight Council as a Local Highway Authority, have a duty to ensure the efficient and safe movement of people, services and goods on the island's highway.
Requests for changes on the highway are submitted daily to the council by residents, businesses and town councils. All requests are assessed by highways engineers in respect of road safety, and then prioritised for funding.
As a result, improvements that will enhance safety on the roads are identified each year. The implementation of these improvements often requires amendment of the existing restrictions. Such as on-street parking, traffic direction, or width/weight restrictions.
We have adopted a two-year review for each district, called a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) review. Our aim is to ensure the whole island is reviewed using same approach so traffic management remains consistent.
The process for introducing changes on the highway is regulated by the law. Every proposal is advertised in the press, inviting public feedback to be given within 28 days of the proposal notice. This is called a formal TRO consultation.
The end of the public consultation is followed by a Cabinet meeting. Public feedback is reviewed and a decision is made on the implementation of the proposals.
We use this survey as a consultation tool to provide information to the public and to gather feedback.
