CLEETHORPES MP Shona Mclsaac told Parliament last week that satellite navigation systems were sending trucks down streets with weight restrictions.
Mclsaac reported that drivers are following their sat-nay instructions, ignoring weight restriction signs telling them not toga down certain streets, and that Immingham, Lines, was particularly affected. "I fear this will be a growing problem unless there can be some way of programming sat-nay to say there is a weight restriction." she says.
To tackle the problem Mclsaac is pressing for a weight restriction to be introduced on Pelham Road, Immingham, even though she fears it might be ineffective.
