NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The use of width restrictions, such as bollards, is a common traffic management technique to prevent large vehicles from using certain routes, often in response to concerns about congestion, noise, and safety. In the case of Woodmere Avenue, the restriction was intended to deter lorry drivers from taking a shortcut through the area. The presence of such measures can be a contentious issue, balancing the need to manage traffic flow with the potential impact on local residents and other road users.
