Residents and local motorists in Lincolnshire are poised to witness the installation of new signs as part of a programme to enforce a weight limit of 7.5 tonnes on selected country roads. This strategy is intended to deter heavy goods vehicles from using village roads, which are ill-equipped to accommodate such large conveyances, thereby preserving the infrastructure and safeguarding local communities. Among the affected areas is the A1077, where work will be undertaken around important junctions to facilitate clear communication with drivers. The initiative has received a warm reception from residents who have long harboured apprehensions about the influence of heavy goods vehicles on their villages.
