This yellow sign is a new addition at this junction and will utterly confuse any

truck driver unfamiliar with this area.

The road IS unsuitable for HGVs BUT is a lot worse if they try to drive up from the

opposite end where this sign has appearred.

There are businesses and farms that are nearer the top end of this road where this sign is at.

The sign is at the southern end of Layhams road,New Addington or Keston but most here

probably won't need to use it.


Stupid sign is stupidsilly

some signs are daft.
have you seen the ones along the lines of,
"clearing up your rubbish puts roadworkers lives at risk."
now i know what it means, but at a quick glance, people could read it wrong.
oh no, quick throw all your rubbish out of the car, or someone will die.

I usually drive down roads with the "Unsuitable For Heavy Goods Vehicles" signs thinking, "yes, this really is unsuitable"biggrin

The worst road i have to go down for one of our existing customers in Kent ,you are

heavily brushing mirrors on the foliage both sides.

Had to make an old duffer reverse once when i met him there.

I did chuckle at his reversing ,with both his mirrors folded in.hehe

What also gets me is when an "unsuitable" sign goes up in a perfectly good roadconfused

Drove up another regular road in Kent yesterday with these new signs replacing

old small "unsuitable" signs.

Either it's a LB of Bromley or Kent county council thing.

Or are these popping up in other places too ?

If there's no posted height, weight, width or length limit the it usually means 'No nasty big lorries here please, it's bad for our house prices'.
I'll pay attention if an alternative route is posted, otherwise they can live with it grumpy
