Decision details

Decision to not introduce a Weight Restriction along U93400 between its junctions with A49 & A4110, Wellington to Westhope, Herefordshire.

Decision Maker: Service Director – Environment , Highways, & Waste

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Following a site audit and assessment and the completion of vehicle classification surveys, the implementation of a new weight restriction is not considered an appropriate course of action. It is felt that the impact would be very limited due to the low amount of HGVs currently using the road as a through route. Additionally, “Unsuitable for HGVs” signage should be installed to discourage larger vehicles from using the route unless accessing local properties or businesses. These will have a similar impact to a TRO without incurring the same financial costs.
