Buchanan Computing, a traffic engineering and highway management software provider, has announced that its ParkMap 7 cloud service has an optional consultation tool app that allows users to provide web-based delivery of notices and documents for proposed traffic orders (TROs).
Online delivery of TROs enables local authorities to carry out online public consultations for their orders, with residents able to view proposed schemes against existing restrictions on a clear map.
According to Buchanan Computing, by subscribing to the optional tool, ParkMap 7 users can take advantage of the government’s temporary relaxation of advertising and document inspection requirements for traffic orders, which allows authorities to publish them digitally until April 2021.
“With the government encouraging its ‘active travel’ initiatives, authorities are busy proposing radical changes to road layouts that give more space for cyclists and pedestrians,” said Alex Smith, managing director, Buchanan Computing.
“But with the libraries and council offices closed, and many newspapers not being printed, the optional consultation tool for ParkMap 7 means local authorities can publish their proposals to the TraffWeb service.”
Alongside traffic orders, deposited documents and individual elements, such as consultation plans and Statement of Reasons, can also be published.
Members of the public can access the TraffWeb apposing their smartphones, PCs or tablets, and can download the deposited documents.
What’s more, they can comment directly on the proposed traffic order and this feedback is sent to the local authority.
