Don’t the signs telling you not to go that way start back in Thirsk?

This+1

Not as black and white as that is doesn’t. It says something like caravans prohibited and unsuitable for heavy loads. Then another sign further down says how many HGV blockages there’s been in the last month or year or whatever.

Problem with that sign is what’s a heavy load? And are we taking power to weight ratio into account? Is someone in an artic with a 10 ton load with 420hp not to go but someone in with a 10ton load with 650hp allowed? Or is heavy load referring to all HGVs whether empty or loaded? And even at that it’s not a prohibition it’s only a warning.

They’d be better setting it stone, making it black and white and putting a weight limit on execpt for access maybe.
