Weight limits

The Traffic Management Division implement weight limits when it is necessary, e.g. when the condition of a bridge or road is inadequate to take the weight of lorries and their loads.

Environmental weight limits and lorry bans are introduced following close consultation with local communities and road haulage groups. They are introduced with the aim to improve the quality of life for communities by reducing the intrusion of HGVs into residential areas.

Existing Weight Restrictions:

  • Bridge Road, Roby - 8 Tonnes
  • Shaw Lane, Kingsway, Prescot - 10 Tonnes
  • Shevington Lane, Kirkby - 7.5 Tonnes
  • Hall Lane, Kirkby - 7.5 Tonnes
  • West Street, Prescot - 7.5 Tonnes
