Sign gives wrong and legally incorrect information
Reported in the Sign (lit) category by MARTYN EVERETT at 17:09, Fri 25 September 2020
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 377099.
Sign gives impression that weight limit only applies to part of the High Street. Weight limit applies to whole of the High Street and has, I believe, since the bypass was built in 1997. Counted 15 HGVs using the route illegally today. In the past drivers have been given the wrong impression by this sign

Letter today to Richard Fenwick. Leadenham We are awaiting the weight limit signs to be correctly placed in the High Street Leadenham so that they can be enforced. It is now very urgent as the safety of the school children is at stake. The Council has prevented buses passing here and we need to prevent them meeting lorries and blocking the route completely.
It is on fix my street as “Sign gives legally incorrect information” or similar, but you may not realise how important it is. The vehicles cannot fit on the road and scrape past the school bus, even when driving on the pavement.
