Roadworks fees and applications
Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO)
A TTRO is made when it is necessary to temporarily stop or limit vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic along the highway. This includes footpaths. A TTRO can also be made when it is necessary to temporarily enforce no waiting / no loading restrictions. These TTROs are made for roadworks or special events on the highway.

Streetworks Licence (Section 50)
Utilities and other bodies have statutory powers to install apparatus in a public highway. The exception is when the highway is a special road under the Highways Act 1980 (eg, a motorway). Any other company or individual who wants to install and maintain apparatus will need to apply for a licence. This falls under Section 50 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRSWA). Also known as a Streetworks Licence.
