[Talk-GB] Advice needed for maxweight turning restriction

[Philip Barnes]

I came across an odd situation where a road is on way, except for cycles
and vehicles over 13'3" high. Its a residential area of Shrewsbury which
would be a useful rat run, hence the oneway. But to make it complicated,
there is are industrial units, and a low bridge.

Not sure of a better way, but have added a note.
