Court Results from July, for Traffic Weight Restrictions Breaches
The Public Protection Partnership (PPP) enforces weight restriction orders made under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
It is an offence to drive a vehicle through a restricted area where the vehicle exceeds the weight limit imposed (unless delivering or collecting items within the weight restriction). Routine inspections are undertaken on weight restrictions across Bracknell, West Berkshire and Wokingham areas to ensure vehicles are not breaking the law.
PPP officers also undertake routine patrols with Thames Valley Police to check for overweight vehicles on the roads.
- Five fines for different breaches at Skew Bridge totalling £2309
- Three fines for Streatley totalling £1870
- One for Cold Ash Hill of £440
- One for Ermin Street, Stockcross of £507
