Shaftesbury to Poole HGV route avoiding A350

This is how it is these days.

Southbound use the Melbury Abbas/Dinahs Hollow/Spreadeagle Hill/High Road.

Northbound - use A350.

Big dot matrix signs show you the way.

The Zig Zag is nothing to do with this - it’s a different road entirely, although nearby. And not really recommended for anything bigger than 7.5t although short wheelbase 18t are OK. It’s improved a bit recently - new road surface and kerbage.

Cue posters telling me they have taken tank transporters and trombone trailers down (and up) this incline. :smiley:
