Run a local bus service
Traffic regulation conditions
The local council can ask the traffic commissioner to impose conditions on your licence. The traffic commissioner will decide if conditions are needed to:
- prevent dangers to other road users
- reduce traffic congestion
- limit environmental pollution
The conditions could affect:
- your bus routes
- where you can stop
- when you can stop and for how long
- where you can turn or reverse
- the number of vehicles, their type or their frequency
In some cases the conditions will start straight away.
You’ll be told if conditions have been imposed and they’ll be added to your licence.
You cannot meet the conditions
You must change the registration within 28 days if you cannot run your service under the conditions. You will not have to pay a fee if you change the registration because of these conditions. You must meet the conditions until the change of registration takes effect.
You disagree with the conditions
You can ask for a public inquiry within 28 days if you disagree with the traffic commissioner’s decision.
It’s against the law to disobey traffic regulation conditions.
