New road markings and sign requests (opens in new window)

Some new markings or signs will require a Traffic Regulation Order being made before they can be installed.

The request must first be advertised in the local newspaper and on site to allow anyone to object. Any objections are heard by the relevant area committee. If the committee overrules the objections, then the Traffic Regulation Order is made and the proposals installed.

We will remove any illegal signs. We also maintain -

• road markings
• signals and signs on the public highway which have been -
  • removed
  • damaged
  • faulty or have become faded
