Refunds

You can apply for temporary traffic restrictions if:

  • your work is going to be carried out on or near the road
  • there is a likelihood of danger to the public
  • there is serious damage to the road which needs repairing

We need a minimum of three months’ notice to introduce a temporary traffic restriction for planned work.

If your planned work will be longer than five days then you must apply for a temporary traffic regulation order (TTRO). If you expect your planned work to be completed in five days or fewer you can apply for a temporary traffic regulation notice (TTRN).

If work overruns beyond the five days covered by the TTRN you will need an additional TTRO which will be charged at the full rate.

For an emergency closure due to a burst water or gas main, phone 0345 155 1008.
