Pedestrian Areas
Where it is proposed to grant permission for tables, chairs or other furniture on highways from which vehicular traffic is excluded by means of a Traffic Regulation Order (i.e. pedestrian areas) the permission would normally be operative when vehicles are excluded, by the legal order. This would be on road safety grounds. Usually tables, chairs or other furniture can be used on wide footways, but adequate pedestrian routes and clearances next to the carriageway must be maintained.
