QUESTION NO.18

QUESTION: Councillor H. Farrell

To ask the Manager what measures can be taken to address the current 3 tonnes max vehicle limit on Dodsborough road being exceeded regularly? 

REPLY:

There is no 3 tonne weight limit on the Dodsborough road in the current weight restrictions that are in force.  There is an existing 7.5 tonne weight restriction on the old Tandys lane, most of which has been subsumed under the Adamstown SDZ road layouts.  There is a remaining section of Dodsborough road from Shackleton Avenue to the junction of Dodsborough Cottages which has an existing 7.5 tonne weight restriction in force.

The Traffic Section has started the process of reviewing the existing weight restrictions in the County. We have sent out requests to the Councillors to send in road sections for our team to assess for weight restrictions prior to having workshops with each ACM.  Each member is encouraged to send in their road suggestions and the traffic section will review these for feasibility.
