Hi,
Can someone confirm the HGV ban in Kirkby Stephen, internet searches are inconclusive.
Is it any HGV over 7.5Tonnes, or is it an 18 Tonne limit.
Thanks

It’s an 18t limit, there’s also a 14ft 6in bridge on that road.

Thanks for that, I am 14 Tonne with a 3.5 Tonne trailer, so should be fine, only 11’ high.

To be pedantic, it’s “Except for access (that’s anywhere between Tebay & the A66), permit holders and vehicles carrying livestock.”
