Traffic Regulation Order: No Waiting At Any Time, Abbey Road (Rhuddlan)

We're consulting on a Traffic Regulation Order at Abbey Road in Rhuddlan, the effect of which will be no waiting at any time.

  • The area of road covered is a short section of Abbey Road immediately south of the junction with Hylas Lane
  • The proposed restrictions will be marked with double yellow lines
  • The proposed restrictions mean you cannot park or leave your vehicle parked in the road in the affected area
  • The reason for making the proposal is to prevent parking on the west side of a short narrow section of Abbey Road so as to ensure the safe and unobstructed passage of large vehicles accessing the farm and caravan / camping site at the south end of Abbey Road.

What is a Traffic Regulation Order?

Traffic Regulation Orders are legal documents that restrict or prohibit the use of the highway network, in line with the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (external website).

Traffic Regulation Orders help us to manage the highway network for all road users including pedestrians, and they aim to improve road safety and access to facilities in the areas for which they are proposed.

A Traffic Regulation Order can only be proposed for the reasons set out in the legislation, and a scheme can only be proposed if the regulations allow the scheme site to be enforced with appropriate highway signage or lines on the road or pavement.

Examples of schemes that require a Traffic Regulation Order include:

  • Prohibition of Waiting
  • Changes to speed limits
  • On-street parking restrictions
  • Weight limits / width limits or other vehicle restrictions
  • One-way streets

Enforcement

Anyone parking or waiting on double yellow lines may be liable to a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) not exceeding £70.
