The majority of prohibitions and restrictions that apply to traffic on
the public highway are put in place by Traffic Management Orders (TMO's)
made by the City Council under the provisions of the Road Traffic
Regulations Act 1984 and other Traffic Management Order related
legislation. Contraventions of the provisions of a TMO may give rise to
the issue of a Penalty Charge Notice.
The City Council maintains an extensive library of Traffic Management
Orders for the prohibitions and restrictions within the City of
Westminster and is in the process of making these available on-line.
Currently TMOs for prescribed routes, certain parking zones and waiting
and loading restrictions are available.
Parking Places
The City of Westminster is divided into 8 parking zones and the TMO's for
zones E, F and G are currently available. The consolidation orders for
each zone are listed separately.
Prescribed routes orders relate to moving traffic and are for banned or
compulsory turns; one-way streets; no entry points and restrictions on
vehicular access. Please note that not all moving traffic offences are
covered by a TMO, e.g. yellow box junction marking.
The streets in the City of Westminster are subject to restrictions on parking and a large number of them have restrictions on loading and unloading.
The consolidation order is listed separately.
