Hi Edward
These restrictions are quite common in Leicestershire and are intended
to prevent lorries using residential areas as a through route.
They are generally 7.5t and only apply to goods vehicles, not buses or
coaches.
They allow access for deliveries, loading.
We usually use hgv=destination.
You do need to tag every road within the boundary, not just the main
roads otherwise you will end up with some very strange routing.
