Temporary traffic regulation

37.—(1) Subject to the provisions of this article TfL may, for the purposes of and during construction of the authorised works—

(a) suspend the use as a parking, waiting or loading bay on those roads specified in column (1) of Part 1 (parking, waiting and loading bays) of Schedule 9 (temporary traffic regulation) between the points specified in column (2) of that Part of that Schedule, for the purposes specified in column (3) of that Part of that Schedule;

(b) make provision as to the direction or priority of vehicular traffic and pedestrians on those roads specified in column (1) of Part 2 (shuttle working with traffic control) of Schedule 9, along the sections and between the points specified in column (2) of that Part of that Schedule, for the purposes specified in column (3) of that Part of that Schedule;

(c) install pedestrian crossings on the roads specified in column (1) of Part 3 (pedestrian crossings) of Schedule 9 along the sections and between the points specified in column (2) of that Part of that Schedule, for the purposes specified in column (3) of that Part of that Schedule; and

(d) without limiting the scope of the specific powers conferred by paragraphs (1)(a), 1(b) and (1)(c) so far as may be necessary or expedient for the purposes of or in connection with construction of the authorised works—

(i) revoke, amend or suspend in whole or in part any order made, or having effect as if made, under the 1984 Act;

(ii) permit, prohibit or restrict the stopping, waiting, loading or unloading of vehicles on any road;

(iii) suspend or authorise the use as a parking place of any road;

(iv) make provision as to the direction or priority of vehicular traffic on any road; and

(v) permit or prohibit vehicular access to any road,

either at all times or at times, on days or during such periods as may be specified by TfL.

(2) The powers conferred by paragraph (1)(d) may only be exercised after TfL has consulted the chief officer of police, the traffic authority and such other persons as it considers necessary and appropriate, after TfL has taken into consideration any representations made to it by any such persons and after TfL has obtained the consent of the traffic authority in whose area the road concerned is situated (which must not be unreasonably withheld).

(3) TfL must not exercise the powers conferred by this article in relation to any road unless it has—

(a) given not less than 4 weeks’ notice in writing of its intention to do so to the chief officer of police and to the traffic authority in whose area the road is situated; and

(b) advertised its intention in such manner as the traffic authority may, within 7 days of its receipt of notice of TfL’s intention, specify in writing.

(4) Any prohibition, suspension or other provision made by TfL under paragraph (1) has effect as if duly made by, as the case may be—

(a) the traffic authority in whose area the road is situated, as a traffic regulation order under the 1984 Act; or

(b) the local authority in whose area the road is situated, as an order under section 32 (power of local authorities to provide parking places) of the 1984 Act,

and the instrument by which it is effected may specify savings and exemptions (in addition to those mentioned in Schedule 9) to which the prohibition, restriction or other provision is subject.

(5) Any prohibition, restriction or other provision made under this article may be suspended, varied or revoked by TfL from time to time by subsequent exercise of the powers conferred by paragraph (1).

(6) Expressions used in this article and in the 1984 Act have the same meaning in this article as in that Act.

(7) The powers conferred on TfL by this article with respect to any road have effect subject to any agreement entered into by TfL with any person with an interest in (or who undertakes activities in relation to) premises served by the road.
