High Speed Rail 2 / South East Aylesbury Link Road - Traffic Regulation Orders
Feedback updated 7 Nov 2026
We asked
We asked residents along the route of High Speed Rail 2 (HS2) and the South East Aylesbury Link Road (SEALR) for their views on introducing a number of Traffic Regulation Order amendments.
These covered speed limits, removal of existing traffic movement restrictions and on-street parking measures, but also a number of shared-use cycle paths along the Stoke Mandeville Relief Road (SMRR).
You said
During the consultation held between January and February 2026, we received 4 responses.
For the HS2/SMRR proposals, the majority of responses supported the proposals, with one objection to the extension of the 40mph TRO on A413 Small Dean, Wendover.
For the SEALR proposals, two objections were received:
- Revoking existing 40mph TRO approaching the A413 Wendover Roundabout; and
- Introducing Double Yellow Lines on the stubs created by SEALR.
We did
Following our review of the responses and plans, we recommended to the Leader that the proposals are made as advertised, but with the following clarifications:
- The 30mph speed limit on Lower Road will be enforced through a system of street lighting and will not require a formal Traffic Regulation Order (extents from No.67 Lower Road in a northerly direction towards a point just south of the junction with Beethoven Drive and including the SEALR roundabout).
- The 30mph speed limit on A413 Wendover Road will be enforced through a system of street lighting and will not require a formal Traffic Regulation Order (extents from No. 268 Wendover Road in a southerly direction to a point just north of Hampden Hall Roundabout).
This decision was made in late October 2026. As of November 2026, we are awaiting permission from HS2 to make the Traffic Regulation Orders. You can find the decision here: Decision - High Speed Rail 2 (HS2) / South East Aylesbury Link Road (SEALR) - Traffic Regulation Orders - Modern Council.
Buckinghamshire Council will make seperate Orders for SEALR, and these will go live on the 11th of November 2026, and will be published in the Bucks Herald.
All confirmed Orders can be found by accessing our Traffic Orders Platform, Traffweb: Traffweb.
Overview
We are seeking your thoughts on implementing a number of Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) for two projects - High Speed Rail 2 (HS2) and the South East Aylesbury Link Road (SEALR). This is currently the first batch of these TROs to go out, with more planned in the future.
