Lorries travelling in Nottinghamshire

Do you have a problem with heavy lorries using unsuitable roads? Are lorries using the roads through your area or village as a short cut? Are they travelling too fast or making a noise when empty? You can help us by identifying where and when the problem occurs so we can assess it.

The problem must be really serious not just a nuisance. As a guide, it is unlikely that a lorry count of less than 30 per day (7am to 6pm) would be put on the countywide list for further investigation.

What we will do

The problem you report will be assessed and ranked in priority order.
A recent review has produced a programme of locations for 2008-10 and a further review will be carried out for beyond 2010.

Priority depends on the following:

• The number of lorries using the road compared to local traffic volume
• Whether the lorries cause accidents and travel too fast
• The nature of the road and the extent of development next to the road (particularly if there are schools or health centres).

What you can do

If you require further information you can contact your Highway Manager.
