Here in Cambridgeshire we have just completed a route-mapping system, which is available free by visiting www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/transport/ managing and following the link to'heavy commercial vehicles'.
You will find not only the location of every weight limit, low bridge and narrow road in the county, hut also extra information such as the location of every lay-by, and every lay-by offering refreshments, as well as the truckstops.
