Should Tractors be Allowed on Trunk Roads?
I travel the A11, A!4, M11 and A12 quite a lot. One of the hazards is people driving slow-moving farm tractors, on these roads that really were designed for a higher minimum speed.
Yewsterday, a serious accident between a track and trailer and a lorry caused a lot of delays and nearly killed two people.
Isn’t it about time, that slow moving vehicles are banned on trunk roads?

M11?; surely not. I think the use of a road should be up to the vehicle’s driver. For example, the A505 Baldock bypass is a motorway for all intents and purposes; signage states no cycles, pedestrians, etc.; I guess it’s not a terribly nice road to cycle on and I probably wouldn’t want to, but that should be my choice. My commute to college would be a *lot* simpler if I could use the M11 and the A14, but I can only cycle along the latter.
