<p>For permanent measures affecting the use of a road, the local highway authority
making the order must consult certain specified bodies and "<em>other organisations
(if any) representing persons likely to be affected by any provision in the order
as the order making authority thinks it appropriate to consult</em>". There is
no obligation to consult the public directly the authority must publicise its proposals
by publishing a notice in a local newspaper at least 21 days before making the order.
The authority must also ensure that adequate publicity is provided to those likely
to be affected.</p><p> </p><p>For a temporary order, no consultation is required but
the order making authority must notify certain specified bodies such as the chief
officer of police. The authority must also publicise proposals for temporary measures
by publishing a notice in a local newspaper at least 7 days before making the order.

to publish in advance and the same specified bodies must receive notification no later
than the day on which the notice is issued.</p>
