Hmm ok. So a 20mph wall of metal on a motorway is a sensible idea? No wonder our motorways are choked.
Ordinary HGVs don't cause a problem, this isn't an ordinary hgv
Big loads are there for a specific purpose - that purpose can't be eliminated so they have to go somewhere - they're safer on motorways and cause less congestion.
Can you imagine the congestion of these big loads on ordinary 2-lane roads, closing it while they pass through and having to go through the lanes to bypass low bridges and sharp bends.
Our motorways being choked is caused by a combination of too high a population, too many people commuting long distance to work by car and too much goods traffic that should be on the railways - but they're congested too so just put it down to too many people on a small island.
