<p>AFAIK Kent doesn't go round putting 2m width limits on country lanes - more likely to be 6'6" "except for access". A random spot-check on his most recent changesets with Google Streetview shows indeed <span>6'6" "except for access" so he may actually be correct, except for the discutable correctness of the conversion to metres and the absence of anything for the "except for access" bit (how do we even tag that anyway?). I wonder what his source is..... is this manual surveying, or is it cruising round the countryside in GSV?</span></p>
