Application for temporary prohibition or restriction on road:

• Road closure
• Temporary speed restriction
• One-way system

Restricting or prohibiting a road without permission may result in criminal prosecution. If you'd like to apply for a temporary restriction or prohibition for the purpose of undertaking work on the highway, you'll need to apply for permission. Use the form below. If you require a road closure or parking restriction for an event (carnival, festival, sporting event etc.) please use this application instead.

Note: There are three embargo periods operated across Shropshire market towns during which time only emergency works are permitted. Dates fall as follows:

• Christmas - between the second Monday in November and the Monday following the first week in January 
• Good Friday - for ten days (usually in March)
• Flower show – one week in August
