From the warden's perspective
Warden's note
Overnight bans on heavy commercial vehicles are common in residential areas. Hours are specified on signs. The vehicle type matters — check whether your vehicle meets the weight threshold specified.
Common mistakes
Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.
- Vehicle below the weight threshold for the ban
- Hours not correctly checked
- Sign not present or obscured
- Loading exemption incorrectly assumed
Your rights
Check the weight threshold on the sign. If your vehicle is below it, challenge. Check the hours carefully.
