After many years of campaigning by a number of villages, Dunsfold village is now within an HGV exclusion zone which is detailed on the linked map here . Surrey HGV Exclusion Zone Map. This means that a driver/owner of a lorry over 7.5 t weight is breaking the law if it enters the zone, unless on a local delivery or operating from a base within the zone. Please note that emergency and public services vehicles are exempted.
The ban replaces the previous advisory notification, a blue sign largely ignored that simply stated a road was unsuitable for HGVs.
The result is one of the largest HGV exclusion zones in the country and covers not just Dunsfold but all adjacent parishes. First time offenders will receive an official warning but repeat offenders can be fined or prosecuted.
Details on how to report a suspected infringement can be found on this website by following the link > https://www.surreycc.gov.uk/roads-and-transport/parking/moving-traffic-offences/hgv-watch. In order to report a suspected infringement, you will need to note of time, date, location, registration number, name of operating company and, if possible, a photograph.
