12.16 A type (b) CPZ can apply to goods vehicles, buses or both as indicated by the appropriate symbols on the signs. The lorry symbol may show a maximum gross weight of either 5 tonnes or 7.5 tonnes; any other weight would require authorisation from the Department (see para 2.1).
12.17 Signs to diagram 640.2A are provided within the zone (see paras 6.18 to 6.20). There should be at least one sign on each side of every road (see para 12.1). Road markings are not used. Where there are other waiting restrictions indicated by the marking to diagram 1017 (single yellow line) within the zone, it is recommended that the upright signs for these are co—located with the sign to diagram 640.2A to avoid driver confusion (see also para 12.11).
12.18 The exit from the zone is indicated by the sign shown in diagram 666. The symbols shown in the lower panel must be the same as those shown on the entry sign.
SIGN DESIGN, SIZE AND SITING
12.19 The detailed design of zone entry and exit signs for both types of CPZ is set out on the appropriate working drawings (see para 1.9). Note that the panel divider is always the same width as the sign border. The voucher symbol on the entry sign to diagram 663.1 must be the same as that shown on the signs to diagram 660.5 within the zone, and correspond to the design shown on the vouchers themselves (see para 7.25). The symbol must be within the size shown in diagram 663.1. The design of the sign shown in diagram 662, including permitted variants, is detailed on working drawing P 662 (see para 1.9). This is similar to the sign shown in diagram 661.1 (see para 7.8) with the additional legend ”Disc Zone”.
12.20 There are two sizes of entry and exit signs. The smaller size would normally be used where the zone boundary is in a side road at a junction or on a minor through—route with low traffic speeds. The larger size entry sign is appropriate where the zone boundary is on a main road with a speed limit of 30 mph or more. It might also be used where there is a need to give drivers more time to assimilate the information, e.g. where the time period shown is complex (although this should be avoided wherever possible).
