Whether there are ANPR cameras installed or not it is still an offence to enter a weight restricted road without good reason to do so
That was my understanding, but this quote leaves some room for doubt as to whether they are enforcing it at the moment:
Q; I’m still seeing lorries; why is this?
A: These changes aren’t going to happen over night and we are currently in the process off changing signs to let drivers know they can’t use the High Street. The signage is on course to be finished by the end of summer 2017. For more information visit our weight limits page.
(From the Central Bedfordshire website)
As has been said, the signage at the moment is really terrible. No ‘approved lorry route’ signs that i could see.
