3.5-tonne weight restriction for Rhodrons Avenue
Kingston upon Thames Council is preparing for a review of the Rhodrons Avenue 3.5-tonne weight restriction, approved in November 2025 despite objections.
Kingston upon Thames Council approved a 3.5-tonne weight restriction for Rhodrons Avenue in November 2025, following a decision by the South of the Borough Neighbourhood Committee. This approval proceeded despite objections received after a Traffic Management Order was published, which the director and chair decided to set aside. Residents were to be informed of the decision.
The council is scheduled to conduct a review of the weight restriction's impact on surrounding roads after 12 months, which means this review is expected in November 2026. The findings of this review are to be brought back to the committee for further consideration.
