Current Restriction
Vehicles exceeding 7.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight are prohibited from using Ince Lane when approaching from the A56. This restriction operates at all times and is already enforceable by the Police.
Why is this location being considered?
The restriction was introduced to prevent heavy goods vehicles from using a route that is not suitable for regular HGV traffic. Ince Lane is a rural road where the presence of large vehicles can create difficulties for other road users and affect the safe and efficient operation of the highway. The location has been identified through observations by Cheshire Police and Council Highways Officers regarding compliance with the restriction. Vehicles exceeding the weight limit can create conflicts with other road users, make manoeuvring more difficult on narrower sections of road and undermine the purpose of the existing traffic management measures.

Expected Benefits
The 7.5 tonne weight restriction on Ince Lane was introduced to discourage heavy goods vehicles from using a route that is not designed for regular HGV traffic. Camera enforcement would improve compliance with the restriction, reduce the number of prohibited heavy goods vehicle movements and support safer, more predictable conditions for all road users. This would help reduce conflicts between large vehicles and other road users, make the route easier and safer to use, and ensure that the existing traffic management measures operate as intended. Improved compliance would also help address longstanding concerns raised by local residents and support the use of more appropriate routes within the wider highway network for larger vehicles.
