Welcome to the Traffic Management Team webpages.

The Traffic Management Team are responsible for developing local policies aimed at improving the quality and safety of our streets and is a major function for the Council. This involves assessing local needs and priorities and consulting with local people and other interests on specific schemes and proposals.

Our work includes the following:

• Local traffic management, such as traffic schemes, one way streets and cycle improvements.
• Development of cycle routes, both traffic-free and on-street.
• Pedestrian improvements, such as safer routes to schools and zebra / pedestrian crossings.
• Local bus lanes and priority public transport routes.
• Advice on highway issues for planning applications.
• Access issues for pedestrians and disabled people.
• New Traffic Signs and Road Markings for the traffic network.
• Traffic Regulation Orders which are required for many different restrictions, for example yellow lines, waiting and loading, speed limits and weight/width restrictions.
• Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders to allow essential or emergency works to be carried out on the highway, examples of TTRO's include road closures, waiting restrictions and weight restrictions.
