Width restrictions

 
There are two main width restrictions:

  • chicanes that reduce the available carriageway width over a short length
  • throttles (or pinch points) narrow the road to provide a safe crossing point for pedestrians.
Used in conjunction with a speed table, they give the right of way to vehicles approaching from one direction.

How can I request road width restrictions?

You can email or call us using the details on the right.
