The Road to D-TRO Conference
2025-02-03 10:00 - 16:00 (Europe/London) | IET Austin Court, Austin Court, 80 Cambridge Street, Birmingham, B1 2NP, United Kingdom
The Digitalisation of Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) offers a generational opportunity to change the way we manage the roadside. Whilst many TROs are published as paper documents by traffic authorities, the signing of the Automated Vehicles Act 2024 into law means that all authorities will soon need to have their TROs in digital formats, with a single data standard that can be shared with the Department for Transport.
This provides an major opportunity to change the way our roadside works. It will mean easier consultations for the public, quicker processes for approvals and a more flexible system that can meet the changing policy needs of local authorities.
The Road to D-TRO Conference, sponsored by Causeway Technologies, will explore the current state of play, provide examples of those local authorities who have already made the move across to digital, and ask ‘what next?’ for D-TROs and the management of the road.
We’ll hear from Government, local authorities, suppliers and key decision makers to get their perspective on how we can best utilise D-TROs to support a greener, safer and more efficient road network.
