Title of scheme

Kilnbank Road, Market Drayton – width restriction

Description

The existing two tonne weight limit will be revoked. A 2.4m (7’9”) width restriction will prevent oversized vehicles from travelling along the length of Kilnbank Road where there is insufficient width. Restricting this size of vehicle will reduce the likelihood of vehicles entering and becoming stuck along this road. This will improve road safety for all road users and amenities in the area.
