There's always numpties who ignore these warnings, though. (Even when the snow gates are down)
Despite signs saying that the A66 was closed to high sided vehicles, there was still some lorry's heading down the A66, on the opposite carriageway there was one off the road and had jack knifed on my way home from Blackpool this morning. Many of the fields in the Tebay and Kirkby Stephen area are flooded.
