Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Surrey County Council is studying 21 stretches of roads in the county, ranging from A roads to unclassified routes, which could become the subject of lorry controls.

Detailed traffic surveys are being carried out on the sites to determine how many trucks over 7.5-tonnes are using the sites, which were picked from 144 stretches of road, following complaints from local residents and organisations who want HGV traffic controlled.

When the surveys are completed, points will be awarded according to the number of trucks using them during the day. Those exceeding a certain points threshold, and where there are suitable alternative routes for HGVs, will be added to the county's minor road works scheme.
