The maximum weight limit for vehicles through the village is 17.5 Tons & the maximum speed limit is 30mph. Over-weight and speeding vehicles are a common problem for the residents of Leeds. HGV's are now an all to familiar sight travelling through the village, they cause delays to other vehicles, cause obstructions when two meet and can't pass each other, they cause the homes along the road to shake as they pass. |
