Well done to Rawreth Parish Council. They have been campaigning hard on stopping heavy lorries using Watery Lane and Beeches Road, and they are making progress.<\/p>\n
There’s already a 3 Tonne weight restriction. But an increase in traffic, the increasing size and numbers of HGV’s and the new reliance on Satnav has resulted in more heavy lorries going down there. Drivers are ignoring the warning signs and restrictions and this is having a serious impact on the safety of other road users.<\/p>\n
In order to improve the situation Essex County Council are planning a number of changes , these include a build out of improved signing to incorporate vehicle activated electronic regulatory signs, and a new traffic regulation order being a 3 tonne restriction on the weak bridge adjacent to the Anglian works, this will be from a point 72 metres east of the junction of Beeches Road with the access road to the Anglian site and westwards for 92.5m.<\/p>\n
And well done to County Highways too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
