"Do they? I don't believe temporary road closure notices are required to be published." Closing a road All road closures require a traffic regulation order issued by the Highway Authority. Any cost involved for both the closure and diversion signing is met by the person requesting the closure. At least eight weeks notice is required as there is a legal and consultative process to go through. Emergency road closures are also possible when there is an immediate danger to the public, such as road subsidence or dangerous buildings. Business or individuals may request a closure to allow them to carry out works. Notification periods must be complied with to allow for the statutory notices to be published. For more information about road closures and diversion, contact the highways department within your local council. |
