does this mean vehicles over 7.5 limit can go through for loading and unloading and are there any guidelines to follow.

  1. 7.5 limit sign:

Does this mean no goods vehicles over the 7.5 limit beyond this point.

the ones that say “except for loading” or “except for access” can easily be ignored :wink: ( well, they can if you’re driving a 26t cattle truck and there’s a farm the other side :open_mouth: )

the ones that just have the weight limit need a bit more care :laughing:

Thanks for all the reply’s and I will try and find a
different route unless I am delivering to the other
side of a 7.5 limit sign with except for loading under
the sign.

Cheers :slight_smile:
