Sign o' the times

There is some lane closures and a contraflow lane on the A40 around Park Royal, the outside lane each way is signed with a height limit of 6’6 / 2m.

I may be missing something but every other time I can think of a lane closure and reduced speed limit its a width limit for the outside lane, so I am inclined to assume the signwriter has made a slight error.

And if you did strike something in that lane, saying you thought the sign writer got it wrong may not sound like a good reason to the TC

Technically…

When the signs display a width limit of 6’ 6", if you Google Transit van width, they come in at 6’ 7" wide, making it an offence to use that lane.

i really have nothing better to do today.

Hate to be picky your post says

There’s hell of a lot of difference between a height limit and width limit

Just a fun…

Fact, observation, interesting ditty.

That’s the question! [emoji849]
The signs say height, but the op believes they must mean width.
Hope that’s cleared it up ?

We don’t want things clearing up on this forum-we wait for Carryfast and Winseer to explain things to us in some depth. :open_mouth:

And some double decker will still hit it.
