Damaged my new car too costing me £500. You have to blindly navigate through 6 posts that are too low for the driver too see. I now have to take a huge detour to avoid which certainly isn't good for the environment. Also this petition does not appear in the search, I suggest we share the link on social media for the local residents.

Can't understand the logic behind this totally unrealistic width restriction that is causing so much grief to everyone.

Why was the old width restriction replaced with this monstrosity. When you evaluated the new version how did you decide this was a successful solution (You did evaluate it)? Plainly it doesn't stop the lorries but it does damage hundreds of cars.

Too many cars damaged. They're not supposed to cause a problem and penalise motorists, they are to stop large trucks.

Can't believe this width restriction has been left as it is all this time. With all the road works going on in Watford this year I would have thought this would be top of the list to get sorted

Completely pointless tight width restriction, that may cars smaller than mine scoot straight through the middle. I literally hold my breath nearly every time I pass through. Have lived in North Watford for nearly 40 years.

Due to the amount of vehicles damaged by this width restriction it should be removed .

I attended one of the earlier consultation meetings, the county representative would not listen to any complaints, and railroaded over everyones concerns and comments. just hope you get a better result this time round.

I'm sure it's not 7 feet, I measured it some years ago when I hit it!

Whilst I agree with width restrictors to have 3 in a row on a road with speed humps is just plain stupid, reeks of the council spending money on their budget for no reason!! Remove the width restrictors
