HC Deb 25 March 1964 vol 692 c91W
91. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Transport, in view of the traffic congestion in High Road, Leytonstone, what consideration has been given, in consultation with the local authority and the Metropolitan Police, with a view to preventing abnormally lengthy or heavy vehicles proceeding along the High Road during the day.

Mr. Galbraith

Abnormal loads requiring special routeing or police escort are not routed via High Road, Leytonstone, during the day. Our traffic engineers have considered the practicability of prohibiting large or heavy vehicles from using this part of the trunk road as a through route by day, but they are unable to find any more suitable route at the present time.
