Report misuse of weight restricted roads

Lorry Watch

Our Lorry Watch scheme helps you report the misuse of weight restricted roads by heavy goods vehicles (HGV) in Lincolnshire.

HGVs are not allowed to travel along certain unsuitable roads. This is because they can create safety hazards for other road users and pedestrians.

Vehicles that are exempt from the restrictions and can use the routes are:

  • vehicles making deliveries or collections at premises within the restriction
  • vehicles working on or near the roads in question
  • emergency service and military vehicles
  • buses, coaches and other public service vehicles including waste collection vehicles
  • agricultural vehicles using the route for work purposes 

Any vehicle which is SORN should be reported to the DVLA.

You will need:

  • name or number of the road
  • date and time of sighting(s)
  • vehicle registration number

Report to Lorry Watch

Once we receive your report, we will then assess if the vehicle is over the weight restriction for the road. We will then take the necessary action.

All Lorry Watch submissions are followed through to conclusion but we will not comment on individual cases.
