The restriction prevents large vehicles from using inappropriate roads, routes and areas in order to:
- reduce danger to pedestrians and other road users
- prevent damage to buildings, roads and bridges
- reduce and manage congestion on the roads
- procedures for implementation
- restrictions are subject to a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) and the associated procedures
- regulatory signs are erected on site to give effect to the TRO and to assist the police in carrying out its enforcement
Enforcement
The Police will enforce these restrictions.
Additional Considerations
Where a Traffic Regulation Order restricts the use of a road, route or area to certain vehicles, the signing of a recommended alternative route will need to be considered.
