Lorry Ban
The Greater London (Restriction of Goods Vehicles) Traffic Order 1985 was introduced as an environmental control measure to stop unnecessary lorry movements disturbing the peace of Londoners at Night and Weekends.
The ALG maintains the scheme, issuing permits to those lorry operators with essential business in London (around 56,000 permits per year) and produces the London Lorry Map which shows those roads affected by the scheme and provides assistance to lorry operators with information on routing. The ALG employ a team of officers to enforce the ban and they currently prosecute about 2,000 offences under the ban each year.
