Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) Public Consultation

The first Traffic Regulation Order (TRO1) went to statutory consultation in October 2009 when comments were sought from emergency services, public transport operators and haulage representatives. Following extensive informal consultation, the formal phase of this TRO process is a public consultation running from 22 February until 21 March 2010.

Objections will be accepted during this 28 day consultation period and these will be considered by the City of Edinburgh Council.

Objections should be sent in writing, quoting reference TRO/09/60A, to:

The City of Edinburgh Council
c/o Dundas and Wilson
Saltire Court
20 Castle Terrace
Edinburgh EH1 2EN

A public exhibition will also run from 22 February until 21 March 2010 at the City Chambers reception and will be staffed by representatives from the Edinburgh Tram Project. This will be open from 11am until 3pm from Monday to Saturday with extended opening to 7pm on Thursdays.

Information for Cyclists:

Now that tracks are laid in Princes Street, cyclists and other road users need to give special consideration to these changes, and to one another.
