About TMOs
Traffic management orders (TMOs) are legal documents that help manage traffic and parking.
TMOs control things like speed limits, one-way streets and yellow lines.
They will either be:
- parking and loading restrictions – known as ‘static restrictions’
- speed and movement restrictions – known as ‘moving restrictions’
Types of TMO
TMOs can be:
- permanent
- experimental
- temporary
- proposed
When we propose a new permanent or experimental TMO, you have a chance to let us know if you agree with it or not.
What is not controlled by TMOs
TMOs are not needed for:
- school ‘keep clear’ markings
- yellow box junctions
- bus stops
- road humps
- pedestrian crossings
How we advertise TMOs
We must advertise each TMO.
We do this by publishing a notice in a local newspaper.
We may also:
- publish the notice in the London Gazette
- put notices on lamp posts in the street where the TMO is proposed
