Re: [Talk-GB] Access restrictions for lorries above a certain GVM

Hi What are we going to tag? The length of road/way with the restriction and which lanes, or the placement of the sign as a node and with some directionality. From the examples given it seems that passing the facing sign is the limiting event, the end of the restriction may be posted with a

Re: [Talk-GB] Access restrictions for lorries above a certain GVM

The term "HGV" is not actually legally defined in the UK. Goods vehicles start from 3.5T MAM. There is a special driving licence group D1 which allows you to drive up to 7.5T, but the difference is in the licence, not the vehicle. The sign with an image of a lorry is used for a so-called

Re: [Talk-GB] Access restrictions for lorries above a certain GVM

I can only answer for my self. I generally tag these I usually see with a plain hgv=destination, possibly with maxweight=7.5t. The sign is very rare without an additional plate allowing for deliveries. I do this largely because I want to capture the information rather than because it is the most

Re: [Talk-GB] Access restrictions for lorries above a certain GVM

In that specific case (7.5T), which is the most common, it would be hgv=no, as that is the defining maximum authorised mass for an HGV. I'd consider maxweight, for higher limits. The traditional UK term is Gross Weight, but the, more scientifically correct, term now used, in formal
