The Department for Transport (DfT) launched a consultation on TRO reforms in March. Its vision is to create digital TROs, transform engagement and consultation with local communities and simplify and speed up the time it takes to make orders. In the foreword to the consultation document, roads minister Baroness Vere described the proposals as the first reforms for a generation to how TROs are made. She wrote: 'The traffic regulation orders made by traffic authorities are vital to enabling, delivering and supporting the future of transport. They are needed to make and enforce any change to the way a road is used or how it is designed and thousands of them are needed every year. Yet the legal process for making them was created in an analogue world and this is still in use today.' Ann Carruthers, chair of the ADEPT Transport and Connectivity Board, said: 'ADEPT is considering the proposed changes to Traffic Regulation Orders in more detail, but broadly welcomes the proposals. |
