Request
We are currently updating its nationwide routing and navigation databases. We are requesting your latest spatial dataset for road restrictions to support commercial driver safety. Please provide your current dataset for:
* Bridge Height Restrictions (Physical clearances under 16'6" / 5.03m)
Preferred Format: CSV, XLSX, or Spatial GIS layer (GeoJSON, SHP, KML) containing:
* Bridge/Structure Name & Location Description
* Height Restriction (Imperial feet/inches and/or Metric meters)
* Geo-coordinates (Latitude/Longitude or OS Easting/Northing)
* Date of last physical survey or TRO revision Less important is:
* Weight & Width Restrictions (Enforced structural or environmental limits)
* Same details If this data is published on an open data portal or Web Feature Service (WFS), please reply with the direct link as this also might be useful.

Preferred Format: CSV, XLSX, or Spatial GIS layer (GeoJSON, SHP, KML) containing:
Bridge/Structure Name & Location Description
Height Restriction (Imperial feet/inches and/or Metric meters)
Geo-coordinates (Latitude/Longitude or OS Easting/Northing)
* Date of last physical survey or TRO revision
Please see the attached CSV file which contains the above requested information. Regarding TRO revision, I am advised that bridges do not require TRO’s so that information is not held.
Less important is:
* Weight & Width Restrictions (Enforced structural or environmental limits)
I am advised that this information is publicly available via https://traffweb.app/ from which it is possible to view different locations. As such we consider this information to be excepted under Regulation 6 of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 because it is available to you via other means.
