WIDE LOADS ON ROADS

Early day motion 775, tabled 17 October 2005 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 45 members.

That this House notes the severe disruption to motorways in the UK caused by wide loads moving at peak times; recognises that the traffic congestion caused by wide loads operating at peak times must cost the UK economy millions of pounds every year; and calls on the Highways Agency to ensure that wide loads are only given permission to use UK roads and motorways during off-peak hours.
