HL Deb 19 November 1998 vol 594 c182WA
Earl Attlee

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Which sections of the motorway system have a weight restriction of 38 tonnes or less. [HL3846]

Lord Whitty

The only weight restriction on the motorway system in England is on the westbound slip road on the southern end of the M.11 where a restriction of 3 tonnes will be in force until strengthening work has been carried out. Since the current maximum gross vehicle weight permitted under the Construction and Use Regulations is 38 tonnes (excluding combined road/rail transport), weight restrictions are not placed at 38 tonnes.
