Mate of mine says all artics should come off and use Didcot roundabout. I think as width is 2.5 m then we can stay on A34 . My unit width is 2.485 . who do you think is right ?
I stayed on yesterday as im à gnats ■■■■ under 8 foot so ur mate is wrong.
Dont tell him though.
Lane 1 gets diverted off at the junction, lane 2 is 6’ 6" IIRC and gets shunted over to lane 1 with works on 2.
2.5m 8feet was the width limit yesterday.

That’s odd, I make 2.5m to be just over 8ft 2. Mine comes in at 2490 so under 2.5m but over 8 feet. So it’s legal in metres but illegal by feet?

Great point I wonder if they go by metric as the legal one and the feet measurement is just for folk like me who can still only work in old money.
Reckon for prosecution purposes to have less girth than one of the stated measures would be fine, just guessin.
To be on the safeside though as you are aware of this you have to use the nearside lane and leave the outer one for just me and a few cars. I shall now forget I have read this pretty sharpish.
I came off yesterday like the goody two shoes I am. Wish I hadn’t bothered as the terminally confused dears in their cars who are incapable of understanding signs came off too and couldn’t manage the simple task of going straight over the roundabout. Meanwhile the smart truckers stayed right and disappeared off merrily into the distance.
you can bat on through in Ya generic lorries, it’s just for wide loads !
