traffic management order
Kingston upon Thames councils are currently approving traffic management orders to address local parking and traffic flow issues.
Kingston upon Thames councils are currently addressing local traffic and parking issues through traffic management orders, which are legal orders regulating traffic. In March 2026, the Surbiton Neighbourhood Committee approved measures to resolve parking and access issues on Verona Drive, including formalising paved verge parking and introducing passing places with double yellow lines. This followed a decision in November 2025 by the Director of Highways, Transport and Regulatory Services, in consultation with local councillors, to approve changes to the Berrylands Area Healthy Streets Scheme, including installing double yellow lines on Surbiton Hill Park.
Earlier, in July 2025, Kingston Council approved the removal of on-street parking on Rowlls Road following a developer's premature action, aiming to protect residents from non-resident parking. These decisions are made after reviewing objections to proposed traffic management orders, ensuring that local concerns are considered. No upcoming meetings are currently scheduled to discuss new traffic management orders.
