On-street parking and waiting restrictions
About this service
Wiltshire Council, as the highway authority, has a duty to manage the roads (except trunk roads) for the benefit of all road users and residents. In order to do this controls and restrictions are introduced for environmental reasons and to improve traffic flows, road safety and access arrangements.
Where it is considered that new on-street parking controls are required or the existing restrictions need changing, a traffic regulation order (TRO) has to be made. The process of making a legal TRO involves a lengthy administrative process laid down by legislation.
The making of a TRO ensures that the restrictions are legally enforceable and that the objectives of a new traffic scheme are met. Restrictions which require a TRO include those for waiting, loading bans, parking bays and taxi rank clearways.
To make TROs easier to understand, the Council has introduced a new way to browse the restrictions in place on the County's roads.
Text schedules which describe the lengths of parking and waiting restrictions in a Text Based Traffic Regulation Order (TBTRO) are being replaced by map schedules which show these restrictions on a map. Map schedules form part of a Map Based Traffic Regulation Order (MBTRO).
If you are interested in the restrictions in your area you can view the MBTROs and map schedules to see exactly what restrictions are currently in place.
MBTROs are currently available for the North Wiltshire, Kennet and West Wiltshire districts.
The Salisbury district parking and waiting restrictions will be converted from text schedules to map schedules in the near future.
