Signed up.

A traffic regulation order (TRO)should only be used to close a byway if there is a safety issue to either users or those maintaining a byway. All local authorities will hold a database of personal injury accidents (PIA) this is how road safety is measured and the information is available to the public under the freedom of information act.
If anyone is in the peak district area, pleas keep an eye out in the local paper for a Notice of Intent published by the council. This will give the dates of when objections will be received. There should also be a notice displayed at the entrance to the byway. This is minimum required advertising for a TRO.
Despite all the paperwork and legal process a local authority goes through; try often forget to place the correct signing to warn a byway is closed. This is in the form of the red circle sign with the picture of a motorbike jumping over a car. Until this sign is in place the byway is open to vehicles regardless of a TRO being in place to say it's closed. This is because the sign is the legal restriction and if you drive past it then you are breaking the law. The TRO is just a process a local authority has to go through to place that sign.
