    Hi all,

    With regard to the Council's possible future moves for SfP schemes, does anyone have a link to the technical details of Experimental TROs - what the processes are, requirements for consultations, handling of objections, etc?

    Thanks for any leads.

    I should state at the outset that IANAL.

    This is what CEC says: https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/roads-travel-parking/street-schemes-proposals/4

    This is the The Local Authorities' Traffic Orders (Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations 1999 referenced on that web page: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1999/614/contents/made. Section 20 is the bit that applies specifically to experimental traffic orders: it says that sections 5, 6 & 7 of the regulations (publication, notice & objections) do not apply to experimental traffic orders.

    This is the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 which underpins the above regulations. It's the one referred to in the above regulations as "the Act". Section 9 is specifically relevant to experimental traffic orders. Interestingly, Section 9(4) says that an experimental traffic order can be extended for a further 18 months (subject to certain conditions which I don't have time to check right now).

    Have fun. (And if you think trying to untangle this stuff is complicated, you should try the regulations surrounding traffic signs.)

    “I should state at the outset that IANAL“

    Being a lawyer isn’t everything!

    Good bit of work there.

    Who needs experts when you can just use common sense?

    (That’s slightly ironic of course, but as ever - on CCE - shows what can be done with a bit of applied effort/intelligence to help/enlighten others.)

    So the 'L' is for lawyer. Useful to know.

    MPDKATA (Many people don't know all these acronyms)

    LOL

    Maybe worth noting here that the report on Spaces for People measures going to the Transport Committee on 17th June has a summary of the process (starts page 16, paragraph 4.67).
