Signage Not TRO Compliant

Council parking restrictions must be authorised by a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) and signs must comply with TSRGD 2016. Non-compliant signs are unenforceable.

Legal basis

Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016; Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 section 64.

How to identify this in your case

Check signage against TSRGD diagrams. Request copy of TRO from council. Compare TRO to actual restrictions signed on street.

Sample appeal wording

I formally request a copy of the Traffic Regulation Order authorising the parking restriction at [LOCATION]. I contend that the signage as displayed does not comply with TSRGD 2016 Schedule [RELEVANT SCHEDULE] because [SPECIFY ISSUE]. Section 64 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 renders unenforceable any restriction not properly signed in accordance with statutory requirements.

Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
